The room featured amenities. The staff was helpful. I found the location very close to the main roads. Breakfast offered enough variety with delicious options. I enjoyed my time there. The room was cleaned daily, which I like it.

This hotel is brand new, even though google streetview might not show it yet. the design felt considered, and it was quiet. i particularly enjoyed the location on a pretty square. It was just blocks from the main train station. breakfast stood out with its very nice variety. the staff was helpful.
One minor detail. The corridor lacked carpet. this detail didn't impact my stay much, but it was noticeable. everything else was very good.

really good supportkey sightseasy exploration
The hotel staff provided really good support. They readily answered all our questions about local attractions and transportation. The hotel's proximity to main attractions allowed for easy exploration. I particularly appreciated the provided map, marked with key sights upon check-in.
The breakfast selection, while varied, could have been warmer. The hot items were only lukewarm. This was a bit disappointing.
Service

The staff demonstrated outstanding helpfulness and kindness (especially at reception). They promptly addressed every request during my stay. Their attention enhanced the overall travel experience.
