Pros:

Ubytování blízko vlakového nádraží a téměř v centru. Krásný výhled z okna. Pokoj velmi čistý.

Cons:

Hotel stále probíhá rekonstrukcí, možná proto zapomněli udělat u WC na pokoji dveře:). Není úplně komfortní, když sedíte na míse a váš spolubydlící na vás kouká z postele. Takže přestože jsem si objednala pokoj se soukromou koupelnou, na wc jsem chodila na chodbu - tam dveře byly, na štěstí!

Great place, great location, we would definitely stay again
Pros:

Great place to stay, right in the middle of all the action. Lots of places to eat & drink both sides of the hotel.

The room was just what we wanted, it was spacious enough for 6 people for 3 nights.

We loved that our room faced on to the main street & we had large windows to open and look out from.

We had a room on the first floor with a en-suite bathroom. It looked recently renovated and there were further renovations going on around us but we were not disturbed too early.

The beds were really comfy and we all had power points for charging overnight etc. We were very thankful that we had a large fan placed in the room before arrival as it would have been a little warm, this was a great touch that we were very thankful for.

Reception were great throughout our stay, they also loaned us a hairdryer on arrival as requested.

Better to stay somewhere else
Pros:

Only good thing to say about it was the location, near the city center

Cons:

Room conditions were terrible, the shower sink didn’t work properly, every time we showered the floor of the room would get full of water.
No ventilation at all, only a small fan which did not help much because the sun hits on the windows directly…
You could hear everything from the other rooms, so no good isolation neither.
Wouldn’t recommend staying even if the location is good, it is seriously not worth the money.
