Reviews based on Location
+It's a charming beautiful place. Very responsive staff. We stayed one night in a private room. The room and common areas were clean and warm. The wifi worked well. Simple but delicious breakfast with a great view. Close to a large park, shopping center, bus stops. We walked to the center via the promenade and bridge (about 3 km). The room and services fully correspond to the description and photos. -There were a few harmless to humans tree bugs in the room. Not critical, but for someone may cause discomfort.
Beautiful place over the Danube. Cozy decoration and very nice breakfast. All of the staff was welcoming and super nice to us. Thank you for the experience.
