  • Peter

    Excellent location in a very quiet area, but not even a 1 minute walk to the main bus stop at the city centre, and just 2 minutes walk to the main square or old castle. Authentic historical building, but all refurbished and clean. Quartiple rooms...

    Atmosféra v skautskom dome, vybavenie, ústretovosť, blízkosť centra, záhrada hneď za budovou😉

    Milý a ochotný personál, čistota, krásna historická budova, neviem si predstaviť čo viac by mohol človek potrebovať na strávenie noci
  • Andrea

    Tak ako vždy, skvelý pomer cena a výkon, čím myslíme polohu v úplnom centre mesta s parkovaním a možnosť ubytovať sa so psíkom.
