Fairytale Views and Friendly Faces
city view friendly staff easy access hotel garage
The room had a balcony. I found amazing views of the city spread out before me. The staff were so friendly. They proved to be accommodating to every request.. Parking in the garage is easy. It offers direct access to the hotel.
The single detail I would change is that the breakfast area felt a touch small when many guests were present. This meant a little wait at peak times. I'm sure the hotel will address it soon.

Central Stay With Castle Views
central location fine view friendly staff
The Hotel has a prime location. The castle view from the terrace is fine. I appreciated the breakfast. It featured ample choices. The staff members were also friendly and helpful. The hotel is located on top of a parking garage.
The elevator does not reach the second floor, which posed a minor problem for luggage transfer.
Dining

The breakfast offered a good variety of options. I saw many items continually restocked to avoid shortages, which I appreciateD! I observed a selection of fresh fruits, pastries, and hot dishes. The dining area was tidy and well-kept.

Acceptable Location. Some Disappointments
lack of air conditioning small breakfast room
This hotel provides very good parking because it is located at the top of a car park.
My room was too hot. There was no air conditioning. A simple fan was inadequate. The breakfast room was small given the number of guests. Service needed to be staggered.

Excellent Hotel with Great City Access
helpful staff parking access
I found the staff helpful and attentive to my needs. The breakfast provided a wide variety of options that catered to different tastes. I was pleased with parking in the underground garage. It was convenient, secure, and offered direct access to the hotel. My stay was comfortable, and I appreciated the hotel's proximity to the funicular railway and main attractions.
My room was smaller than I expected, and the bathroom lacked sufficient counter space for toiletries. I found the limited space somewhat inconvenient .
