Too much noise from garbage trucks.

Very nice and comfortable rooms. Really liked the 4 poster bed and general eco friendly approach. Restaurant food was excellent. Location is right in the heart of the city, 2 steps away from the train station.

I eventually had to leave the place....

The rooms and the rest of the hotel is cozy and definitely worth a visit.

We decided to try the spa out. That turned out to be a weird experience. First in order to get to the spa from our room, we had to go in robes (that had holes in them) from our rooms. This was because there was no changing room in the spa. So we took the elevator down in to the reception just opposite the restaurant. Getting out of that elevator in our robes was embarrassing to say the least! Such a strange experience walking through the entire reception in robes and slippers. Then we had to cross the garden in freezing winter in order to get to the other building where the spa was located. This might have been alright in summer. But hardly in the dead of winter. Then we got to the spa which was in the basement of the other building. And the impression was that it was really a very small space. With a mixed gender shower. So no intimate washing as people had to have their swimsuits on. Then the whole floor was covered in coffee grinds (some sort of pealing) but it just made the place look dirty. There were no where to hang out robes our towels. The noise from the bubble bath resulted in an atmosphere that was just the opposite from relaxing. The other bath was a cold one. So cold intact that no one used it. A cold shower would have been enough. The best thing there was the two saunas which where both good. I definitely don’t recommend the spa. I wouldn’t even if it was included in the price.
