Amazing gelateria across the street and the garage parking spot (though only for small cars) makes it very convenient. Easy street parking too. Very sparkling clean, bed comfortable.

10/10 Excellent
"This is a very modern and traditional hotel. If you're familiar with hotels in the United States of America this will feel like a traditional high quality property. Unfortunately, I only stayed for a single night so I didn't get to really experience all of the hotel's amenities. The bistro was nice. I had a larger lunch before arriving so for dinner I basically had an appetizer. It was good. Breakfast was a typical buffet style. There were plenty of options. Instead of a barista, an automated machine would make your coffee. It was quick, but I did miss that personal quality of a well prepared cappuccino in the morning. I stayed in early August so the restaurant was closed. It did look rather nice and I would have liked to try it."

Hotel is a good location for walking to the city centre and train station. Only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was the level of the breakfast. For the price (I didn’t get it included in my room rate) the selection was good but I struggled to equate it to the cost. Otherwise the hotel was good."
