Great hotel, lovely staff. Tea & coffee options in the room were awful, that’s the only fault!

The Hotel
All was fine but €34 for breakfast struck me as extortionate. The coffee maker in my room wasn’t working so that left this addict with a problem!

really nice hotel, cozy room with enough space. Clean toilet and bathroom. Not very sound proof though, can hear clearly what neighbors are busying with.
