The hotel's location is fantastic, right off Ulica Florianska with its shops and restaurants. The rooms were exceptionally clean and well-decorated, although not very spacious, they are nice and well-equipped. The service was very helpful, even providing a birthday cake for my daughter, but appeared inexperienced at times. The dining experience was delightful, with a large selection and a lovely dining room. The location is excellent, within walking distance to the old town and major tourist spots like Market Square. The facilities were top-notch, offering a range of convenient services.
