Great place to stay. Nice location was easy to get to and close to some good restaurants. Breakfast was very good with a nice variety of options. Hot tub was nice, although it did bleach out the color of one of my swimsuits. Would definitely stay there again.

The hotel is in good condition and very clean. It’s not far from the city center and you can reach easily the green belt. The included breakfast was good to start my days! The room is large and confortable. The only issue I had was the noise of the fridge.
