The service was friendly and helpful, and the dining experience was quite adequate and European in style.

The rooms are clean and comfortable, providing a cozy atmosphere, though a bit tight with limited space around the bed. The friendly staff adds to the positive experience, offering good recommendations and a warm welcome. However, considering the size and facilities, the pricing could be seen as slightly higher.

The hotel has a full-length frosted glass window leading to the hotel garden, which made me a bit conscious using it. It could be a bit fancier considering the price. However, the rooms were in the basement, making it a bit uncomfortable and would've been claustrophobic for a longer stay.

The service needs to be more polite, as the staff was constantly sarcastic towards me and other females. However, they were very helpful with tourism booking, printing documents, and general questions. The staff's attitude significantly improved when we had to book an extra night due to a train strike.
