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.
