We had an excellent stay, except for the lack of hot water on the day of arrival. They kept telling us that the hot water will be back in half an hour, but I think it took 10 hours before we could take hot shower after travelling for 24 hours. After that we had an amazing stay. The hotel is located a short walk from the city centre and is absolutely worth a visit. The staff are friendly and very polite. The food is mainly good except for a bad experience with an entrecôte that was not tender at all. The pepper steak was marvellous. All in all we had a marvellous stay. 👍😎
