Property was average. Location was convenient. Breakfast was included and at a restaurant across the street - that was enjoyable. Parking was at a garage 20 minute walk away. Staff was average - not the friendliest.

The hotel is like a boutique hotel with nice amenities and cleanliness. It's also a short walk to the Princess street, and about 15-minute walk to the old town and the castle. The overall stay was good but I do have two concerns. First, our room faced the street. Even though we're at the third floor, we could still hear all kinds of noises till very late at night. It's not even the weekend. Second, the way they store the luggage is a bit unsafe. They simply asked us to bring the luggage to the basement with a key. All guests did the same with the same key. We were worried about the safety of our luggage.
