9/10 Wonderful! (280 reviews)

Hotel is a bit outside of the city center, but if you dont mind walking or taking a train/taxi, its not a big deal. Rooms are a little small and outdated, but overall a great place to stay. The city terrace has a great patio and the staff is very friendly and attentive.
