"The staff was very helpful throught our stay. The rooms were also decently clean and the location was lively and in the heart of the city. Overall a very good place to stay for 4 days! One thing id point out before booking is that the parking is quite narrow so id recommend getting the parking only if your car is under 1.9 and on the smaller side."
