CanadaI was a little hesitant to book this hotel because it's a fitness facility and I was worried it would be too noisy. Even though there are raquetball courts and a weight and fitness room, there was no noise. I was very happy with how quiet, peaceful, and tranquil my room was. The hotel is in an excellent location if coming by train. Less than a 5 minute walk from the station! Old town, with pedestrian streets and shopping and cafes is about a 10 minute walk. Everywhere I went the city is very walkable, and hardly any hills. The reception staff spoke English and check in went well. I couldn't find the swimming pool and the clerk left her desk to show me the way! The room was very clean when I arrived and furnished adequately. Decent breakfast served - several juices, a coffee machine that makes different coffees, tea, scrambled or fried eggs, cereal, yogurt, cold cuts, cheeses, fruit, pastries, breads. Even tomatoes and cucumbers that I made a sandwich out of! I loved the pool area, I guess it's kind of what I imagine a Turkish bath looks like. A cooler pool, a warmer pool that has jet bubbles on a timer every 15 minutes or so, and a hot tub that also is on a timer for bubbles. There are saunas off the pool area. Lots of deck chairs to relax after a swim.
