Vander Urbani Resort – a Member of Design Hotels
"Great property right in the old town. Staff couldn't of been more helpful. The food and the breakfast were plentiful and freshly made. 😋 Only downside was the shower leaked badly and the floor was soaking wet. I did mention this and they are aware of the problem. Would stay again and recommend."

Kollmann Rooms and Apartments
"We stayed only one night at the end of May and wished we were staying longer! The hotel is very central, right next to the river with its beautiful bridges and many cafes and bars. It was a Monday night, so quiet. We walked with our suitcases from the train station and back (about 15 minutes; easy). ..."
