"The hotel is a business hotel but has a small gym area and a rooftop jacuzzi. The rooms are a good size with super-comfortable beds. Meals are served in an in-house restaurant. They are competitively priced. There are a range of dishes on the menu. I recommend booking because the restaurant can get crowded. There is an underground car park for a (reasonable) fee. The hotel is a 15 minute walk from the station and about 25 minutes to the city centre. A bit too far to carry heavy bags but there are plenty of taxis. The area around the hotel is quiet and safe even at night."

"A very nice spacious room. Was able to check in early which was nice after a long trip. Front desk team were very friendly. We took a cab to the old town for 8 euro instead of the 20 min walk. It is in a quieter part of town."
