I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is fantastic, making it easy to explore the historic town center and enjoy the brewery vibe. The rooms were decent but had a dated feel, and the service was friendly and quick. However, there were some downsides like smoke intrusion from nearby smoking areas and some check-in issues. Overall, it's a good option if you prioritize location and staff friendliness.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, with clean, spacious rooms that made me feel at home. The location is fantastic as it's right next to a brewery and offers easy access to the old city center without the hassle of entering the narrow streets. The staff was friendly and helpful, but I was disappointed with the breakfast as it could have been better. The value for money is decent, but it's a shame that some areas, like the dining experience, didn't live up to my expectations.
