This is truly a botique hotel located towards the end of the town center. There is no air conditioner, which was fine, just so people know, but they do provide fans. There is a buffet breakfast that is actually pretty good. Liz, who was there to greet us was very kind and helpful! The hotel is very close to the train station and very walkable to everything. Would stay again!

Nice location and clean with great breakfast. However with no aircon the rooms get very hot and stuffy so it was hard to sleep. The fans in the room did not help much. Every thing else was great.

We stayed one night at Boutique Hotel KARL, the location is very convenient, by the river, near bus stops and minutes from restaurants, shops and two historical bridges. Breakfast had a nice selection of items, staff were very friendly and helpful. The musegg walls are close by and worth a visit. The room fits all four of us very well, our 2 sons had a separate room with 2 twin bed, the rooms are heated and have ceiling fans. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.
