    Ideal location, a short walk from the train and metro stations, yet on a very quiet side street. The hotel gives you a free pass for local transport and the metro whisks you to the lake in a few minutes. Also walking distance to all sights in Old Town. My room was light and bright, newly decorated and spotlessly clean, with a lake view from the balcony. All staff very polite and helpful. Nice breakfast. A very pleasant stay.
