The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Comfortable and Clean!

I stayed in a Superior Double Room for 2 nights, and I must say, it was quite comfortable. The room was clean, and I appreciated the hot water in the shower. It made my stay enjoyable. The best part was the attached terrace, which was a lovely spot for reading or eating outside.

Delicious Smash Burgers!

During my stay, I had the pleasure of dining at the hotel restaurant. The smash burgers were amazing and definitely hit the spot after a long day. Plus, the cold beers really complemented the meal. It's a great option for late-night dining!

Secure Parking Spot!

I was relieved to find the guest parking to be free and secure. It gave me peace of mind while exploring the city. The spacious car park made it easy to park without any hassle. That's a big plus for travelers with vehicles!

Great Water Pressure!

The bathroom in my room had excellent water pressure during my showers, which I really appreciated. It felt great to have a refreshing shower after a day of exploring. Hot water was always available, making my stay even more pleasant.
