"Superb! We stayed on route back to Czech from Turkey and so pleased we booked here. The rooms are wonderful with good beds and pillows (a must for my wife) and great restaurant and breakfast. The service was equally as good with all the staff helpful and particularly Daniel and Milan in the restaurant who genuinely made us feel welcome and relaxed after 9 hours of travelling. Thank you and highly recommended!"

"Second stay there. Same pluses and minuses. Four star hotel that is really a regular three star by international standards. Terrible parking setup where stalks are not always available to guests and include additional charges. Beds are the most uncomfortable I have ever slept on, so definitely not four star. In the flip side, the place is clean and very centrally located. Those staying there do so because of location mostly. If location is not important, go to a Holiday Inn instead."

The menu for lunch and dinner was extensive and reasonably priced plus a very large choice of spirits and some cocktails. The coffee was delicious. The staff were all very professional and helpful.
