Bar staff tried to move us from an unreserved table, that was going to be reserved. There were other tables available. They gave us a free coffee after my partner complained to rectify but it left a bad feeling
Love this hotel! My second time staying. Love the decor the location, the super helpful and friendly staff. Really comfortable and spacious room. Breakfast is great as was baba where we had dinner the first night. That was the best meal I’ve had in quite a while!

My only gripe was the double bed. Pretty sure most hotels are kings or queens nowadays and the room could have easily accommodated a king. But I will accept that negative for all the above positives!
Lovely big window in room overlooking square. Location was good for us. Bedroom itself was spacious (not bathroom).

Bathroom incredibly small for what we were paying and didn't like old carpet in room. We checked in at 3:00PM and one of our rooms wasn't ready until 4:30PM. The next day we returned to our room at 4:00PM and room service had still not been in to clean the rooms. I found the restaurant menu too limited. I am allergic to bell peppers and chilli which didn't leave me much choice.
Wunderschönes super gelegenes Hotel, absolut traumhaft nettes Personal, sehr herzlich, alles sehr sauber.

Der Spa ist sehr klein und eher in die Jahre gekommen. Es gibt keine Liegen oder ein „Wellness Gefühl“. Es ist eher ein Sport Club dem auch externe Besucher beiwohnen dürfen. Es war demnach ein „Kommen und Gehen“ zudem war die Sauna leider während unseres Aufenthaltes kaputt.
