    Request a family room for extra space, as some double rooms can feel cramped.

    friendly staff
    poor soundproofing

    The location is unbeatable, just a short

    walk to the lake and city center. My stay in the apartment was comfortable, with friendly staff offering helpful service. However, the breakfast could be richer in options, and the soundproofing was not the best.

    cozy atmosphere
    garden lounge
    morning coffee
    warm room

    I loved the cozy atmosphere, especially the little terrace where I enjoyed my morning coffee, and the easy access to the bus for sightseeing. The serenity of the garden lounge was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. Just a heads up, the room can get a bit warm at night, but it didn't take away from my stay overall! 😊

    The room's so small I nearly had to invite my suitcase for dinner! The fan? Let’s just say it works harder than I do!

    comfy mattress
    clean room
    great location
    limited space
    snug room

    The Standard Double Room was super clean with a comfy mattress, perfect for a couple. Plus, having a separate toilet and shower was nice. Only downside? The room felt a bit snug with limited space for bags. We even got a glimpse of the lake from the room—such a bonus! 😊

    italian pasta

    The central location is perfect for exploring, and umbrellas—a lifesaver during our rainy walk! Plus, the nearby Italian pasta spot—so good!

    fantastic location
    helpful staff
    non-feather bedding

    The location is fantastic, close to the lake and city center, making it easy to explore. The staff were super helpful, especially with non-feather bedding for my wife's allergies.

    Not obvious to find.

    Free Wi-Fi worked great, and the big flat-screen TV was a nice touch. Noisy at night.

    great location
    clean room
    limited breakfast
    thin walls
    basic amenities

    Location near the lake and shops is fantastic, making it easy to explore. The room was clean and the clever design maximized space with a separate shower area. However, soundproofing was inadequate, and breakfast options were limited to basic items, leaving room for improvement. It's a decent option for short stays with friendly staff and complimentary transport tickets.
