Great location. Walking distance to cathedral, central station and old town. Beautiful design. Big comfortable rooms. Clean and spacious. Good service, friendly staff.

The hotel is in a good location, just opposite the cathedral, 30 meters away. The room facilities are very poor, and the glass in the lobby is broken. The price-performance ratio is not low, but the hotel doorman service is extremely poor.

The cathedral is 20 meters away from the hotel, and the pork elbows in the restaurant downstairs are also delicious. The hotel service staff are very enthusiastic.
