The hotel's location is undeniably convenient, with a bus stop just steps away and easy access to attractions such as the Casino, the Freddie Mercury statue, and the Christmas markets; plus it is a short walk from the train station.

Lovely Stay with Really good Location

great locationlake viewcharming room
The location was great. I walked to the train station in about fifteen minutes. My balcony provided a lake view, which I really appreciated. The room had character, perhaps due to the building's age. I found it charming.
the carpets seemed worn.

the location was acceptable, providing easy access to the city center.
the room felt quite outdated (i guess it was obvious). the bathroom was tiny with the sink outside in the room. also, parking required prior arrangement and a deposit for the garage key, something i wasn't prepared for.
