excellent locationgood room sizestrong doormissing coffee machine
The location was excellent. It was easy to access buses. The room was a good size and the air conditioning worked well. I found the strong door reassuring.
The room lacked a coffee machine. This was disappointing because I expect this at hotels now.

I did not eat breakfast. A large Billa Supermarket is located about 200 meters from the hotel. This allows easy access to various food options if desired.

The hotel is near many attractions. I noted the bus stops were about 50 meters from the hotel, offering dozens of options. The hotel sits in a great location.
