Whilst away on a business trip that lasted longer than anticipated the hotel was able to accommodate us at short notice. They moved some vehicles to enable us to use their secure parking facilities. The room was discounted by 65 Euro (late booking), it was well appointed clean tidy and the bed very comfortable. Breakfast was self service and had a full array of meats, breads, fruit, cereal along with bacon, eggs, sausage. Teas and coffee along with fresh local croissants. At all times the staff were friendly and helpful. As this was a business trip not much tourist time was available but the hotel was very close to a castle and next to some canals and squares which housed a variety of restaurants and bars. I would stay there again. The hotels advertises itself as a 3 star establishment and that is exactly what it is. Clean tidy and comfortable, yes some floorboards squeaked and creaked, yes some areas could do with a lick of paint but its location, friendly staff and cleanliness more than make up for the minor defects.
