A beautiful building with stunning interior details, but for this price you can definitely get better.
Pros:

Beautiful building, and also impressive inside, but in my opinion the modern art didn’t fit the theme of the old building. The coffee machine was a plus.

Cons:

The bed was extremely poor, and unfortunately because of this we had to change hotels almost after the first night. The staff did try to resolve the situation, but without much success. The bed felt like sleeping on a street, so for this reason I wouldn’t recommend the hotel—except maybe for a visit inside. The breakfast was okay, but many of the items seemed like they were made the evening before and were very watery or otherwise not fresh.

For the special price, very good package - location and all amenities
Pros:

Good location, nice free of charge music. Very specious room. Clean. Different but very good breakfast. Although we stayed with kids and had a wonderful time, bud would recommend more to adults to stay.

Cons:

There were no options for people with lactose or gluten intolerance, and there wasn’t any oat milk or other dairy-free milk available for coffee.

Pros:

Ubytovanie v centre. Čistota a priestranosť.

Cons:

Absencia recepcie. Problémy pri chceck inne a aj pri check out. Bola nám bezdôvodne zablokovana karta na vatup do izby, hoci ubytovanie ešte trvalo. Dosť stresujúce.
