I had a delightful stay at this hotel with a stunning lakeside view, though I found it a bit pricey for what it offered. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful, which really added to the experience. The location was perfect, being quiet yet close to the railway station and a short walk from the city's center. However, the room was quite small and a little warm at times.

I had a decent stay at this hotel which is located a bit off from the center but only a short walk away. The lake view from my room was nice, although I was a bit disappointed by the lack of amenities like a mini-bar or a kettle. The staff was generally friendly, but I did encounter some rudeness during my stay. Overall, it's a quiet place with good value, but it could use some improvements in service and dining options.
