The room is very cosy and very comfortable. It is the second time I book in this hotel and will definitely book again for my next trip. Breakfast is also very good with quality products and enough variety.
Hotel very clean and early check in without an additional cost.
Receptionist very friendly.

Liked: Cleanliness
The biggest standout for us was the courtesy and hospitality of the staff, whether at the front desk or breakfast room. Impressive to see these days and very friendly. This hotel should be a bit more ambitious as a boutique property. The subcontinent look and feel is very welcoming. We noticed that the rooms are a little worn and could use some refreshing. The most negative comment is about the beds which should be replaced. Both were single beds The mattresses are far too hard and we missed the Swiss style feather duvets to which we have become accustomed over many years of travel in Switzerland. The buffet breakfast while above average could use a bit of a reboot. We would recommend an improvement in both the size and quality of the breakfast pastries notably the croissants. The breakfast room is warm and comfortable. The small self serve bar in the lobby is also a welcome feature. With some relatively small tweaks we would have no hesitation in recommending more enthusiastically this hotel so well located and within walking distance of the train station.

The room and bathroom were well appointed and clean . Friendly staff . Great location
Close to train station.Very clean but tired looking. Painting needed on walls and base boards. Not a lot of breakfast choices and cost 22 Euros each! Bathroom door did not close properly,the windows looked newish but not sound proof at all. Makeup mirror in bathroom was broken
Very cute hotel, nicley decorated, excellent service, great breakfast, walking distance to points of interests, very good airconditioning, comfortable bed, I give it 10 out of 10.
