What guests mention
Guests consistently value the central setting, saying the Old Town, Main Square, castle and Jewish Quarter are all easy to reach on foot, with trams close by. The building’s historic character is another plus, while apartment touches such as kitchen facilities, a microwave, towels and hairdryer make stays feel convenient. Feedback is chiefly positive and several visitors would return; the main practical point to note is that reception begins at 2pm, so arrival timing may need planning.
