I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the room was spacious and offered a nice view, it felt a bit outdated compared to other areas of the hotel. The service was exceptional, with friendly and knowledgeable staff who went above and beyond. The location was ideal, close to both the Old Town and the lake, but the dining options were underwhelming. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel is perfectly located in the center of the Old Town near the lake, offering convenience to fantastic dining options and shopping. The rooms are spacious and cozy with a lovely view, but the dining experience, while good, could be more varied. The friendly and helpful service enhances the overall stay value.

My stay at the hotel was delightful overall. The rooms offered a superb view of the old town, clock tower, and lake, making it a very scenic place. Although the room was comfortable, it felt a bit bare with wooden floors and no carpet or rugs, lacking a cozy vibe. However, it was basic yet very clean and accommodating. The view overlooking a little cafe added a nice touch, but be prepared to hear the local church bells peal through the night and early morning.

My stay at the hotel was truly unforgettable. The rooms had a superb view of the old town, clock tower, and lake, creating a very scenic atmosphere. While they could use a slight upgrade compared to the lobby or the restaurant, they were roomy, full of light, with gorgeous views of the square, comfortable beds, and great pillows. The rustic look added charm without sacrificing comfort.

The dining experience was delightful, offering a range of delicious foods including tea/coffee, fresh bread, rolls, jams, sausage, cheeses, scrambled eggs, pastries, fruit, yogurt, and musli. The only downside was the very basic orange juice.
