Guest reviews

A modern hotel with a pleasant atmosphere, suitable not only for business travelers but also for others who need to work there. The location is perfect, less than a 10-minute walk to the cathedral. Tram stop, e.g. to the train station, right outside the door. The air conditioning was excellent, extremely quiet, and easily adjustable. The rooms are modern and rather strictly and sparingly furnished, which I like very much. Nevertheless, everything you need is there, including a minibar (fridge) and a coffee machine. The staff is friendly, almost warm-hearted. It goes without saying that everything was spotlessly clean. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Particularly noteworthy is the rooftop terrace with a pool in the afternoon, which turns into a lounge bar with an incredible view of the cathedral in the evening. This is truly a hotel for living and feeling comfortable during a longer stay.
