"The Hotel was central and a 10-15 minute walk from the city center so everything was accessible on foot but it was still quiet and offered a very calm and relaxing garden terrace"

"Our room (thank you for the upgrade) overlooked the garden which gave you the feeling that you were in a rural setting and not in the middle of the city."

I found an alternative parking spot, just a 5-minute walk away. Spaces were large and the staff was friendly, all for the same price.
