“Lovely eco hotel”
Staff were welcoming and helpful. Hotel has great eco credentials and well designed. They also provided free travel card to use on public transport. Great location right next to tram stop so only approx. 15mins into town and train station, also near a nice coffee shop, restaurant and a couple of bakeries and supermarket. Breakfast had good variety and rooms were clean and temperature controlled which was great for August heatwave!

“A peaceful and pleasant stay with kind staff, great comfort, and a welcoming atmosphere.”
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Green City Hotel Vauban. The hotel is impeccably clean and located in a peaceful, eco-friendly neighborhood. The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful, making me feel welcome throughout my visit. The location is excellent—just a short tram ride from the city center, with tram line 4 stopping right outside the hotel and running frequently. The rooms are modern, quiet, and thoughtfully designed. The beds and mattresses were extremely comfortable—I slept wonderfully every night. The sound insulation is excellent, though the neighborhood itself is already very calm and quiet.

“Try this!”
Very friendly staff, all over the hotel. Convenient location, free tram to city center just outside the door Our room( apartment) was very big with a huge livingroom, two bedrooms, bathroom and also separat toilet and a nice terrace with nice furniture. The style was simple, so you will not find cozy interior and stylish furniture, but everyhing was clean, the beds were comfortable and the look was green and " ecological".. Good breakfast( not fantastic, but good enough) We would chose this hotel again
