Super zentrale Lage in wunderschön gestaltetem Ambiente
Pros:

Tolle und zentrale Lage, bequeme Betten und gute Zimmergröße. Das Frühstücksbuffet war fantastisch, das Personal größtenteils sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Rooftop-Bar bietet einen schönen Ausblick, das Hotel war außerdem wunderschön begrünt.

Cons:

Nachts kann es ein bisschen laut sein durch die zentrale Lage, das hat uns aber nicht sonderlich gestört.
