The hotel is perfectly located just a short walk from the Old Town center, offering a convenient stay with stunning views. The rooms are lovely, tidy, and smart but were not ready until 16:00. The service was helpful overall, although there were difficulties with cancellations. The dining experience was satisfying with a vast selection. The location was fantastic, right near the attractions. The hotel offers excellent facilities like a pool and welcome drink.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The location was superb, surrounded by bars, shops, and restaurants, making it convenient for both city exploration and relaxation. The rooms were spacious, clean, and provided ample space for our group of three. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff catering to all our needs. However, the dining experience fell a bit short with limited options. Despite that, the overall value for money was great, especially given the excellent location and friendly service.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were huge and cozy, honestly double the size of a typical room which was so nice, but for two people, it was a bit tight. The hotel itself is beautiful, clean, and up to date, but could use a bit of upgrading to meet 4-star standards. The location was excellent, within easy walking distance to the old town and public transport. The wellness area with a swimming pool and whirlpool facing the mountains was amazing! The dining experience was fabulously varied and great value, with one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. However, I did arrive close to closing time one morning and felt a bit rushed as they were cleaning up. Overall, a fantastic experience with some minor room for improvement.

I must say, my stay at the hotel was quite a mix of ups and downs. The location was amazing, right by the university square, which was super convenient for exploring. The rooms, though cozy, were a bit cramped for two guests, and it was a struggle to fit our luggage. The warmth of the rooms made it a bit uncomfortable, especially without proper cooling, and the noise from the bar downstairs could be a bother at times.

The hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes walk from the Old town with easy access to nearby shops and restaurants. The beautiful spacious bathrooms with a separate toilet stand out as a room highlight, but the lack of essential amenities like bottled water or a coffee machine could be improved.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the service was helpful and the location was perfect for exploring the university and old town, the rooms felt outdated and somewhat disconnected from the rest of the hotel. The dining options were abundant but somewhat disorganized. Overall, the hotel offered a good value for the money.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the room I stayed in was a little tight, it was still spacious and comfortable overall. Unfortunately, there were some issues like no kettle, a faulty hairdryer, a broken shower screen, and unreliable WiFi. On the bright side, the service was friendly and helpful, especially during Christmas, but there were missed opportunities for improvement. The location was excellent, just a stone's throw from the Old City and the cableway. The dining was a hit or miss but generally nice with a variety of options. The hotel had good facilities, including a delightful hot tub with scenic views.
