Parking

While the hotel provides covered, private parking and boasts the convenience of easy parking in a busy city close to the city center, there are some notable limitations. The underground garage provides free parking and allows guests to take their luggage directly to their rooms via elevator, which many find convenient. The parking area is in a quiet location, enhancing the overall experience.

However, the parking lot is only suitable for small-sized cars due to its narrow entrances and steep exits, which some guests find very difficult and even dangerous to navigate.

Despite these issues, the helpful staff often apologize and try to assist with parking concerns.

In summary, while the hotel’s parking facilities provide several conveniences and are included at a reasonable price along with breakfast and Wi-Fi, they are best suited for guests with smaller vehicles due to the tight and narrow access points.
