good location nice selection complimentary hot chocolate poor soundproofing small breakfast area breakfast variation
the location of the hotel was good. it allowed for easy access to several attractions. the breakfast offered a nice selection, i found options to my liking. the lobby provided complimentary hot chocolate during the day, a welcome treat.
i found the soundproofing to be insufficient, i could hear neighbor conversations easily. this made it difficult to find seating during peak hours.

Wonderful stay near the university

great location spacious room adequate breakfast
The hotel's proximity to the university proved convenient. A short walk got me to the castle. I appreciated that. My room included a large sink, a dishwasher, and sufficient crockery for meal preparation. I found the breakfast to be acceptable.
Internet was unavailable for several hours. I couldn't contact reception. The phone lacked connection, which raised safety concerns during emergencies. Such a basic service should function without fail.
Dining
9/10
The breakfast area had a good variety of options, including hot and cold selections. I was grateful for that. Plenty of pastries, fruit, and cereals were present, alongside eggs, sausages, and bacon. It was a comprehensive spread. Coffee, tea, and juices were readily available.

underwhelming stay, needs improvement

rude staff broken tv
The so-called breakfast area was a joke. it was basically in the reception and always crowded (a real scrum to get anything). the utensils seemed dirty. Everything reeked of eggs and meat. the staff acted rude when i complained. Zero hospitality, really annoying. the room also had its issues. the tv didn't work and no one bothered to fix it even after i mentioned it multiple times.
