We had a quite comfortable time staying at this hotel. That was lovely venue set in nice quiet area, adjacent to a beautiful area close to the city centre, most attractions and canal. Marvellous and excellent location - walking distance to everywhere we needed. Also, a national art gallery was 2 km away.

This great and lovely hotel had a central setting close to buses to anywhere in city. Also, we saw Urbis Building, based a 10-15 minute walking distance from the venue.
Their staff were quite rude.

Great hotel, I greatly enjoyed its central location right by a central area of town, cafes opening from 10am and both the Old Town and the New Town. The most important was the staff - super-friendly and very-very nice people. Stayed in quadruple room with a double bed which was perfect for me. Had an electric kettle, central heating, and television. Everything was really good, I would recomand.
