Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Comfort and facilities score low — Guest ratings for comfort and facilities are the lowest at 6.4 each, suggesting the rooms may feel dated or lacking in some areas.
- Tricky garage access — The underground garage has a steep 1-in-3 slope with a tight hairpin, making it challenging, especially for larger or vintage cars.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, which may limit options for travellers with animals.
- Walk to old town is longer for some — While the cathedral is about 10 minutes away, the old town itself is a 20-minute walk, with a steep shortcut of 100 steps.

8.1Verified guest“Our room was spacious and bright, with a very comfortable bed and a large, spotless bathroom. Staff were friendly and attentive, with great tips about the city. Central but quiet enough for a good rest.”
8.1Verified guest“Fantastic staff on the night shift and good facilities. The hotel is very close to the bus station, restaurants and bars.”
8.1Verified guest“I've stayed here many times over the years. It's a small hotel with a familiar, close treatment. On a main avenue, easy by car, and the cathedral is about 10 minutes' walk. All staff – reception, floor and bar – are wonderfully pleasant, which is why we keep coming back. Rooms are elegant, comfortable, with good mattresses, large bathrooms and spotless cleaning. The buffet breakfast is complete and varied. I'll keep returning.”
8.1Verified guest“Well positioned 10 minutes from the main sights. We asked for a quiet room and got a large, comfortable one at the back on the 3rd floor, with fridge and hairdryer. Even the sofa bed for our daughter had a memory foam topper. Free parking on the road outside. The receptionist was helpful and spoke good English. There's a nice attached café with pastries, coffee and free newspapers; hotel breakfast is €8 per person. Highly recommend for a short stay.”
8.1Verified guest“Convenient for the bus and train stations. It's a 20-minute walk into the old town – good for active people, with a shortcut of 100 steps. Staff are very helpful, and there's a nice café and lounge.”
