Breakfast
However, several reviewers mention that the breakfast is somewhat expensive for what is offered with specific mentions of the 10 to 12 euros price tag being a bit steep. Some guests felt that the breakfast could be better, pointing out that it is decent but not exceptional for a four-star hotel. Complaints about industrial elements like canned fruits and lackluster pastries appear occasionally. Furthermore, due to COVID-19, some traditional buffet elements have been limited, which has affected the overall experience for some guests.

Dinner
The lack of dinner service was particularly disappointing for those expecting full dining amenities at a four-star hotel. The hotel staff, however, are helpful and readily provide excellent recommendations for dining in the vicinity. Noteworthy is a nearby industrial restaurant that offers a commendable dining experience, as well as a couple of good steak restaurants.
Guests noted that some local restaurants have closed, limiting nearby choices further. Consequently, many found that crossing the river by taxi to the main square was often necessary to find a satisfying evening meal. For those who prefer not to venture far after a long day, the limited dining options can be quite inconvenient.
Overall, although the hotel's breakfast service is appreciated and the staff's dining recommendations are valuable, the absence of a dinner option within the hotel and the limited nearby choices may not meet the expectations of all travelers, especially those preferring a convenient dining experience after a day of sightseeing.
