    This hotel exceeded my expectations with its incredible value for money. The staff went above and beyond, preparing a take-away breakfast for me as I had an early morning departure. Their attention to detail was truly impressive, making my stay comfortable and enjoyable. The convenient location near the bus station and within walking distance of the old town and castle was perfect for exploring the city.

    No major concerns.

    The location of the hotel was very convenient, close to the city's highlights. The breakfast was complete, with delicious pastries and freshly baked bread. The staff was knowledgeable about the area and provided helpful recommendations for romantic activities to do.

    The rooms were outdated and need a renovation. Additionally, the hot water was not always available due to the solar panels being affected by cloudy weather. This can be frustrating when trying to relax after a long day of exploring.

    We stayed at the hotel in the lower part of town which was conveniently located close to the bus station and in the central area of the district. the rooms were nicely furnished and comfortable to stay in. We enjoyed the well-prepared breakfast and the stunning views from the rooftop bar.

    The outdated bathroom could have used a bit more attention to detail in terms of cleanliness.

    This hotel is a hidden gem in the heart of the city. The location in the new town is perfect, with easy access to the bus station and a short walk to the old town and castle. The staff here are incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail and the modern amenities in the rooms. The breakfast, served in the restaurant on the 7th floor with a stunning view, was a highlight of my stay.

    Everything was just fine, nothing to worry about.

    This hotel offers great value for money with its affordable prices and attention to detail. The convenient location in the New Town allows easy access to the bus station and a short walk to the charming old town and castle. The staff are incredibly friendly, going above and beyond to provide excellent service. Additionally, the rooms, although without their own balcony, are modern and clean, with great views of the surrounding area. Lastly, the breakfast included is a delightful surprise, especially when they prepare a take-away option for early departures.

    No major concerns - all was fine.
