What guests loved the most

“The front desk man was outstanding. The room was very comfortable with excellent beds and pillows. The location was perfect for going to the hospital for eye surgery. Very easy to catch the bus nearby.”

, USA

“For a solo traveler this room was perfect! View of the river with windows that opened for ventilation. The bathroom had a large shower and the sink had plenty of room for toiletries. Hair dryer was a nice surprise. Wifi worked very well. Staff could not have been more helpful (special shout out to Elisabeth at the front desk). Breakfast was limited but adequate. It was nice to have a lift, which is not always possible in older buildings. Bed was a single, but very comfortable after 24 hours in airports and transits.”

, USA
