Great 4.0
The hotel's location is excellent; it's very lively near the city center. There's a delicious Italian restaurant nearby on the second floor, mostly frequented by locals, I rarely saw any tourists there. However, the hotel itself is a bit older.

Great 4.0
The location is about a 30-minute drive from the downtown shopping area. Although it's a bit far and situated in the mountains, requiring attention to road safety, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. If you're heading to the Albatross Centre, it also shortens the return trip. The accommodation isn't spooky and is quite well-maintained. The shower room on the second floor is more convenient than expected. Plus, breakfast and a castle tour are included, and the breakfast is substantial. Overall, it offers great value for money.
