8.6Verified guest“Excellent, friendly, and competent staff. This relatively new hotel (opened in September 2012) is magnificent, right in the Gothic district. Rooms are not huge but very cosy. Parking is about 200 metres away, and everything is within walking distance. Great food in both the restaurant and tapas bar. We will definitely return.”
