Really good stay, amazing breakfast!
genuine hospitalityamazing breakfastpleasant space
The staff showed genuine hospitality. The breakfast was AMAZING with crepes, fresh fruit, and perfectly cooked eggs. I appreciated the balcony area in my room, it offered a pleasant space to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
The room key had to be left at the front desk EVERY time I left the hotel.
