Our stay was excellent, thanks to the exceptional customer service, so attentive and informative about the local area and Christmas markets. Our room and bathroom were very spacious, featuring a comfortable king bed and a great view. Everything felt modern and spotless. The hotel is conveniently close to the train station without any of the noise. We will definitely stay here again when visiting the area.

The hotel is very nice with great service, especially at the bar and restaurants. The food was great with excellent breakfast. Sadly however the rooms are not cleaned properly with dusty surfaces and dirty floors. Our coffee mugs were wiped rather than changed and clean which made us really question the standards for housekeeping. Another big let down was the SPA - despite having a lot of potential it was unkept and also dirty at times. For example no towels or water available.

Location is ok, close to the train station but a bit of a walk to the historic centre. Our room was spacious and sleek, beds comfortable, but toilet was very dirty at check-in, which was a bit of a shock. Fiddly high-tech controls in the room and lifts a bit of a nuisance. Nice service. Did not enjoy the food at the restaurant.
