The location was excellent and the hotel was very clean. The location is also in a quiet area. For breakfast, you could choose fried eggs, porridge, or pancakes.

We had a room on the top floor. The room had only a skylight. There is no air conditioning in the room, so we kept the skylight or the bathroom window open almost all the time to let the air circulate. In the summer, it would be very stuffy. The hotel uses very strong fragrances in common areas/stairwells, and if the room window was not kept open, the smell would enter the room. Impossible for someone sensitive to fragrances to stay. The fragrances are the reason why we will not stay at this hotel again. The breakfast was unusual; mainly pre-made bread and bread rolls, but it may be a cultural difference that they did not appeal to us. With several days' stay, the breakfast becomes monotonous.

The location is downtown, so I'd say it's pretty good.

I travel extensively for work and stay in more than 30–40 hotels per year. I chose this hotel primarily because of its location, but unfortunately my experience was extremely disappointing and, more importantly, raised serious concerns about cleanliness and guest safety. After a four-hour drive, I arrived at the hotel and wanted to do some light exercise in my room. While walking barefoot in the middle of the room, I stepped directly onto a very sharp piece of broken glass. It actually went into my foot. Fortunately, I felt it immediately and did not put my full body weight on it. Had I stepped down fully, the injury could have been significantly more serious. I did not take a photo of the glass because at that moment I was shocked and angry and simply removed it from my foot and disposed of it. Nevertheless, broken glass lying on the floor of a hotel room is completely unacceptable and represents a genuine safety risk. I can only imagine what could have happened if one of my children had stepped on it instead. After that, I wanted to take a hot bath and relax. Unfortunately, I found dark hairs in the bathtub, which raised further concerns about how thoroughly the room had been cleaned. On top of that, the bathtub stopper did not work, so it was impossible to fill the bath properly. Three separate problems in one room would already be disappointing, but what made the experience considerably worse was the hotel's response — or rather, the complete lack of one. I informed the reception in writing by email about what had happened and received no response at all. After waiting approximately 30 minutes, I went downstairs personally to speak with reception. Even then, there was essentially no meaningful reaction to the fact that a guest had actually been injured by broken glass left in the room. They even didn't come to check the room. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend this hotel.

It was clean, welcoming, friendly environment.

There is no elevator. The bed was not so comfortable. The walls are thin. You can hear everything from the next room.
