    Great location in the old town but close to train station. Nice room with view of courtyard trees. As it’s past of Alexander Hotel one street over, you can pop in and get a free coffee and apple all day.

    The facilities are great, a very comfortable room, everything’s clear and well maintained. The location is right in the city center yet a bit secluded, which makes the stay very quiet.
