I found the location wonderful and very convenient. The staff helped me with all my needs. The street remained peaceful, I slept very well. Breakfast included delicious options.

A parking spot was mentioned as a highlight, yet it did not exist. I found there was no one over 20 years old at reception . The rooms were pretty small, not very romantic.

The location is very convenient. Many attractions are within walking distance. I found many restaurants and shops nearby, yet the street remained relatively quiet. The provided breakfast was complete, and the bed was comfortable. The hotel's team impressed me with their friendliness and willingness to assist.

The room was quite small. It felt a little cramped.

The rooms offer a safe, a hairdryer, and daily cleaning with fresh towels. They also provide fresh sheets midway through the week. The rooms offer kettles to prepare coffee and tea. This made it easy to enjoy a hot drink.
