"Very nice hotel but it would have been a better experience if there weren’t separate charges to use the gym, sauna, and parking. AC in room was great! No problems or issues with this hotel but somewhat pricy when you include the room, parking, and breakfast for 2."

"The room was clean and modern with air conditioning. The location was perfect- close to the old town without the late night noise. We don’t have the breakfast- at €19, it didn’t seem good value. There were welcome drinks and found the staff very helpful"
