Top Hotel, aber leider schlechtes Zimmer erwischt.
Pros:

Die Freundlichkeit des Personals - an der Rezeption, beim Frühstücksservice und an der Bar - war top! Es hat auch alles mit der Buchung geklappt. Das Zimmer war grundsätzlich in Ordnung, für einen Städteaufenthalt absolut ok.

Cons:

Im Zimmer hat es fürchterlich gestunken. Wenn man das Fenster aufgemacht hat, kam noch mehr Gestank herein - wir hatten offenbar ein Zimmer direkt über der Küchenlüftung. Leider kam auch durch die Klimaanlage der Geruch ins Zimmer - es war fast unerträglich. Schade, denn das Hotel an und für sich ist absolut zu empfehlen!

Pros:

For us, the location was excellent, with the city centre accessible within a 5-minute walk. The room size was acceptable, and the cleanliness was good.

Cons:

The bed was not comfortable. The breakfast was not what we expected. Our room was also noisy when the window was open.

Pros:

Bližina centra mesta.

Cons:

Zajtrk v nastanitvi sicer ok, če si bil dovolj zgoden je bila ponudba kar pestra. Če si prišel kasneje je zmanjkalo skoraj vsega, dopolnili niso, čeprav so obljubljali.

Perfect location
Pros:

The staff in the hotel were very nice, polite and helpful. Hotel is in the perfect location and is clean. Good food and breakfast. Room was perfect for our needs.

Cons:

The bar staff in the even, and the following afternoon were under alot of pressure. Definitely could've used 2 staff members each day. I witnessed the afternoon staff member quite stressed as they tried to serve in the cafe area and serve drinks in the bar area. It seemed overwhelming. The pillow in the room were awful!

Pros:

The location and service from staff were excellent.

Cons:

The door made a noise like it was being opened so I had to put a chair in front of it as it scared my 11yr old, and the signal in the room was poor, the smart tv could only get 5 terrestrial stations which barely worked.
