I had a decent stay at the hotel, which is right in the city center and has a friendly staff. The clean and comfortable rooms were a plus, but I struggled with the heating situation. While the service was great, the dining experience was underwhelming with poor breakfast options, and the facilities weren't as modern as I had hoped.
