Guest Ratings & Reviews
I loved my stay at the hotel! The room was cozy with a sofa bed and an extra bed provided without any extra charge, perfect for privacy. The location was excellent, just a short walk from the train station and city center. The service was friendly and helpful, making my stay very pleasant. However, the dining options got excluded in my rearranged booking, which made my stay a bit more expensive than anticipated.
The hotel is conveniently located next to the train station, offering clean and comfortable rooms. The service is marked by old-fashioned hospitality and friendliness, with proactive assistance and on-site parking available. While the proximity to the train station is convenient, the distance to the old town may be a drawback. The dining options are good but may be a bit pricey. Overall, a decent stay with great service and cleanliness.
The hotel offers big and very clean rooms, though sometimes hot and subject to noise from stairs and the elevator. The staff is really friendly and helpful, assisting with local sim card set up and city guidance, but can be slightly annoyed at late arrivals. The location is excellent, within walking distance to the city center and close to Mirabell Palace, despite being near the railway station. The dining experience is up to standard, featuring traditional Greek products. Overall, a comfortable stay with minor inconveniences.
The hotel exceeded our expectations with spacious and well-appointed rooms. The warmth from sunlight was noticeable during the day, but the soundproofing helped create a peaceful environment despite our proximity to the train station. The location was convenient, with easy access to both the train station and the city center.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms and professional staff, though could be noisier for families. The location is convenient for visiting the central station and old town, but some maintenance issues were noted. Dining options are available at an additional cost, and the service is helpful and friendly.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was convenient, close to the train station and the old town, which was great for exploring the city. The rooms, although a bit tight and facing a not-so-pleasant courtyard, were decently comfortable once we opened the window for fresh air. The service was mostly friendly, but one waiter didn't make us feel very welcome. The dining options were good overall, although a bit limited for the price. The hotel met the expectations for a 4-star rating.
