charming stay close to everything

great location clean room helpful staff
The location was great. I walked everywhere. the room was very clean, a plus. the staff helped immediately when i asked for an extra pillow. i found a filter tap outside the room, so i had fresh water anytime.
the heating system made some noise, also the fridge. it wasn't the biggest problem, but it woke me up at times. the walls must be thin.

helpful staff adjustable temperature breakfast selection diligent staff
I stayed for several nights and found the location convenient. The reception staff were consistently helpful. My room featured a double bed and adjustable temperature controls. Breakfast had teas, coffee, breads, fruits, and hot options. the breakfast staff worked very hard..
The pillow provided was quite flat, but using both together solved the issue.

superb stay!

clean room quick delivery breakfast selection
The room was super clean and cleaned daily. i requested extra pillows and they were delivered quickly. the breakfast buffet had a wide selection of hot and cold options. It had scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, cereals, fruit, yoghurt, and pastries.
the hotel only provided one teabag, one coffee packet, and one sugar sachet daily! though, the receptionists happily provided more when i asked.
