7.5Verified guest“This hotel is cozy with really nice staff. The location is fantastic, next to the city center, top sights, and the charming old town and harbor. I always have an amazing time here. Highly recommended.”
7.5Verified guest“Located in a quieter area but close to shops, harbor, and old town. Clear check-in instructions. Beautiful decor and a brand new bathroom. I loved having a private bathroom in the shared apartment. The spacious kitchen had all the cookware I needed. Bonus rooftop terrace with seating for three and a view of the castle. The jacuzzi was mind-blowing with jet streams and bubbles. Comfy bed and absolute silence ensured a great night's sleep. The location was great for a weekend getaway and well worth the money. Staff were super friendly and helpful with any queries. Free Wi-Fi, outdoor dining area, and flat-screen TV added to the convenience. A super place for a memorable trip.”
