"Really nice clean and modern hotel, I loved the ease of self check in and the really useful kitchen with all the essential tools to cook nice dinners - rather pay a bit more on a comfy hotel and save by not eating out."

The room was very clean and fully stocked with cutlery. The kitchen also had plates and pans. The beds were very clean and comfy too.

There wasn't a handle on the temperature control for the shower. It meant there was only cold water.

Fantastic experience!

easy check-inuseful kitchenettefree parking

The self check-in was very easy to manage. The room featured a useful kitchenette. Free parking behind the building provided convenience. Communication from staff was prompt (even late at night!).

The room was somewhat dark, and I would have appreciated a brighter light.

Location

The hotel is near several restaurants and tour pick-up points. The place is also a short drive from the city center. A popular public pool is very close by (a big plus!).

Excellent Stay with Great Amenities

cooking facilitiesgood showermountain viewbuilding exterior

The room included self-contained cooking facilities, great for preparing meals. I found the shower very good and the fridge was a good size. The view of the mountains from the room was fantastic! (I spent some time looking at the horizon).

It was a bit tricky to find the place at night, Google Maps wasn't spot-on. From the outside, it looked a bit like an abandoned building. I knew there would be no staff on site, or a reception but maybe more information would be helpful.

Service

9/10

The check-in was very straightforward because of the door code system. There were extra towels and toilet paper available, which I found convenient. Housekeeping cleaned the dishes. This is not common in many European accommodations.

Rooms

8/10

The room was modern with excellent facilities. I found it spacious and comfortable. The kitchenette had all I needed to cook, including coffee and salt. The bed was comfortable, and I also appreciated the free parking outside.
