Very nice and clean accommodation in the city center, just a short walk from the park. The man at the reception was very kind and helpful. We really appreciated the option to store our luggage. The bathroom was luxurious.

Great big bed. Also, the manager called up to make me a reservation at a great sushi bar not long before closing. Great, thanks.

“I loved it”
Very nice staff. Super calm and quiet (Wednesday night). Very clean. We got upgraded for a bigger room for free as the property was not fully booked. Great experience in such a room.
