a lovely stay in a charming place
friendly staffconvenient parkinggood size roomshort walk
I really appreciated the friendly staff. Their communication before i arrived was useful, and , made everything easier. the location is very nice, and the underground parking close to the hotel is very convenient for drivers. our room was a good size, i found everything comfy, and the city center is only a short walk away.
The small charming room felt a bit cramped. The bed was small for two people. one side had only a tiny nightstand, so that was slightly inconvenient
