“This place makes a strong impression with its remarkably friendly staff, always willing to go the extra mile, and the breakfast is a genuinely pleasant surprise, fresh and well-varied. The rooms themselves strike a good balance between comfort and quiet, and the bathrooms are particularly well-appointed, feeling quite modern. It feels like a thoughtfully managed establishment where small details, like the amenities offered at reception, really elevate the stay.”
