Wellton Riverside SPA Hotel
It’s close to the bus stop, quite street. My room was small but enough for just me. The spa needs a booking but I love it! I’d like to stay again.

Konventa Sēta Hotel Keystone Collection
The hotel is a collection of buildings. In our case, it implied a short walk outside to get to the restaurant for breakfast or to the reception. And there was no elevator. Minor issues largely outweighed by the spacious room, great location and helpful staff.

aparthotel Amella
Perfect location for general market (I. Zeppelin hangers) and the ghetto museum. Short walk to the old town and Christmas market. The bus from the airport (number 22) stops very near hotel and costs 3 euro for 2 people - bargain. Hotel was stylish and clean. Staff friendly would recommend
