Acceptable but flawed
fine locationnoisy air conditioningbathroom mold
The hotel location was fine. It was easy to walk to most things.
My room seemed to lack proper ventilation. It got stuffy. The air conditioning was noisy, so I did not sleep well. I also found that the bathroom was not very clean. I saw mold in the shower.

Solid Hotel Near the City Center
helpful stafflarge roomwater dispenserhigh price
The hotel sits within a short walk of both the train station and the main square. I found the staff very helpful. They provided useful information . My room was quite large and included a fridge.
I thought the hotel was a bit overpriced for what it offered. Even though I paid for parking ahead of time, it was not guaranteed. The front desk offered a refund, but this left me to find street parking.
Location
9/10
The hotel enjoys a superb location, allowing easy exploration of the city with most attractions within walking distance. You can find the Town Hall, the University Library and tower, and the Oute Market nearby. All are easily accessible.
Dining
8/10
The breakfast was quite good. It included fruit, vegetables, cheeses, and meats. I found a cafe, named Oats all day, just around the corner from the hotel, it offered another nice alternative for breakfast.

The hotel has underground parking. This is convenient. I also found the breakfast plentiful. The staff was cute. They were also very helpful.
The room seemed very basic. There was minimal equipment in it. I also noticed only individual blankets on the double bed.

The breakfast was quite comprehensive (the pastries were good).
The room felt a little outdated. The carpet had several noticeable stains, an issue I find unacceptable. the bathroom lacked ventilation. The mirror remained steamed up after showers.
