convenient location and friendly staff

good location nice smell coffee machine

the location is great, close to the square and train station. the room had a good coffee machine. the body gel in the shower had a nice smell. the staff was friendly and helpful.

i noticed that the hotel stored copies of guests' personal details unsecured. photo id copies were kept in an unlocked drawer behind reception. this area is not always staffed, so it raises security concerns.

a good stay

good touch free parking

The reception was warm. A good touch was offered to my partner and me in the form of complimentary prosecco. the bedroom was clean and thoughtfully equipped with all necessities (it really was like a romantic getaway). free parking stood out as a perfect convenience, especially given the fantastic location.

A deposit was required. This was unexpected. the tv was also quite small.
