I had a pleasant experience at this hotel, especially with its unique room themes and modern design. The location was excellent, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. However, while the breakfast options were decent, they didn't quite meet the expectations set by the hotel's overall quality. I did notice some noise from the market square during my stay, which might be a concern for light sleepers.

We stayed in a Junior Suite themed as 'Forest,' which was spacious and had a unique decor that created a lovely atmosphere. However, the two bathrooms felt a bit unnecessary and could have been merged into one larger bathroom.
