My stay at Hotel Brigita was simply lovely. I am very appreciative of the assistance I received from the friendly and helpful staff. I also really enjoyed the delicious and varied breakfasts. The food was the best I have ever had a hotel. Well done!

Super helpful staff, convenient walkable location in Old Town, but still close to transport hubs (tram, airport bus.) My room had an HVAC unit which was a great bonus. Very close to bars/shops/restaurants but still lovely quiet location.

They have thought of everything. Excellent facilities and immaculately clean. Pretty quiet for the 2 nights I was there. They give plenty of advance warning about the steep stairs and they are very steep. Easy access to bus and train station and on the door step of the old town. Would stay again.
