Also its dog friendly! Tnx”
“The hotel is modern, the room we stayed in was small but neatly designed and very comfortable, and super clean. The breakfast was good. The hotel has a bar and also a spa, which unfortunately is paid for guests even though it is the same price as the famous spa in town. The hotel is ideal for people who are driving, because it is a perfect distance from the old city centre, but accessible to other areas, and it has its own free parking. The hotel is family run and everyone is super friendly and respectful. I highly recommend it!”
“A high-standard hotel with exceptional service — every request was met promptly and with kindness. We received personal and professional attention throughout our stay. The rooms were of a very high standard, quiet and comfortable, creating a sense of peace and relaxation. Without a doubt, this hotel elevated our trip and made it perfect.”
“I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Cristal. The staff were exceptionally professional, friendly, and always ready to help with any request, which made the experience truly welcoming. The breakfast was fantastic, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options included in the stay. My room was very quiet, ensuring a restful night’s sleep, and the interior design was sweet and tastefully done, creating a warm and pleasant atmosphere. Hotel is pet friendly . The location was also excellent, making it easy to explore the area while still enjoying a peaceful retreat. Highly recommended!”
“Hotel is very close to the lake. Everything was perfect. Room is comfortable and big, neat and clean, bathroom is huge. For breakfast you get so many choices, my husband was amazed by food. Employees are very kind.”
