Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently appreciate the hotel's convenient location near the train station, often describing it as just a short walk away, although some mention a steep hill. The spacious rooms, some with balconies and large windows offering ample light, are a plus, and select rooms include a refrigerator. Breakfast is generally well-received, although a few guests noted the coffee could be improved. The private garden has also been mentioned as a very cute asset.

Clean and Convenient Stay

helpful staff spacious room comfortable bed

The staff helped when we needed a restaurant reservation and found us a table on a friday night. Breakfast offered a good selection. The room was very spacious. The comfortable bed was a plus. The bathtub provided relaxation after hiking all day (a true lifesaver after a long day).

The room had an old feel, it was like stepping back into the 80s.

Rooms

The room included double doors for added quiet and provided an extra sitting area for more space. There was a refrigerator and complimentary water bottles, a nice convenience after a day of exploring.

Dining
