"This hotel was excellent! It was my favorite hotel from my entire trip around Europe that lasted 3 and a half weeks in 5 countries! The entire hotel was immaculate. The hotel is located in the old town and everything was easily accessible by foot. I didn’t choose the breakfast option for 20€. There’s a Nespresso machine in the room and there are so many cafes near the hotel for a fraction of the price and I love to sit outside in the squares and take in the ambiance. The room was big, beautiful and very modern! The bathroom was also big and had a big shower. I would stay at this hotel again and again! I wish the bartender luck in the future! I’m sorry that I forgot your name (tall, slender & long blonde hair). She is a gem!"
