Excellent hotel with comfortable rooms!

quiet location health focus clean room blackout blinds

I found the location quiet, a good starting point for nice walks. The facilities focus on health and wellbeing. I enjoyed a relaxing time using the pool, sauna and gym. The room was very clean. I appreciated the dark blinds, showers, and lighting effects.

Access to the spa requires prebooking. Slots were not always available. The electric charger seemed overpriced with a very unfair tariff. Hopefully, this will be addressed soon.

The hotel sits in a high part of the city, away from the center. It is a 10-minute drive and very leafy and calm. The area also has some hospitals nearby. This was not an issue.
