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!

8.6/10 Excellent! (263 reviews)
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.
