Fantastic location with very easy walking from the railway station and only a little bit further down to the lake. Breakfast was available over a long period, perfect for a lazy first morning and early start on the second. Compact room but well designed, all facilities needed were there. Staff friendly, welcoming and professional. Transport card a great bonus.

I had a short stay, but it was a great experience overall. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. What really stood out was the lobby staff especially marco and feven— everyone I interacted with was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They made check-in smooth and set a great tone for the stay. I’d definitely consider staying here again.
