I’ve been traveling for over a month, and this hotel offers the absolute best value for money I’ve encountered. I keep rebooking my stay here because it’s just that good. Room 103 is stunning—watching the rain through the large window felt like being inside a YouTube 'cozy ambience' video. As a solo Interrailer, I found the location near the train station incredibly convenient, and the hotel felt very safe. Highly recommended!

​I was extremely grateful for the room upgrade; the room was absolutely stunning. In fact, I was so impressed that I decided to book extra nights and extend my stay! ​The only minor issue was some signal interference with the Wi-Fi and TV, but the location more than made up for it. There is breathtaking scenery just a short walk away. A highly recommended place for a longer stay!
