Excellent customer service and clean rooms

We stayed one night in a large interconnecting family room, which was perfect for us. Both rooms were very spacious with big bathrooms and everything was spotlessly clean. The rooms were ready when we arrived just before 2pm, which was really convenient. The service at Reception was exceptional – the staff were friendly and helpful, even booking a bus tour for us (though you can also pay directly on arrival at the bus if you prefer). The hotel is in an excellent location, with easy access to trains and buses, and within walking distance of many main sights. Buses are also inexpensive and very straightforward when travelling with children. While the price for one night was on the higher side, it felt reasonable given the location, the size of the rooms, and the peak season. Overall, a very comfortable and well-located stay.
