The hotel is conveniently located close to the city center, opposite the Galeria shopping centre. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff is friendly. However, the dining experience could be improved, as there is no tea or coffee available. The facilities are well-maintained, offering a homemade marmalade that adds a nice touch. The price is reasonable, but it lacks some value for money due to the limited dining options.
