Charming stay on water

excellent location special atmosphere

I loved the location because it was close to the railway station. The city center was also easily accessible (I walked everywhere!). The boat had a special atmosphere, something unique to experience. The room's heating worked very well.

I noticed that contacting the staff by phone before my stay was difficult, and my requests were not answered.

Acceptable Location. Significant Disappointments

collapsing ramp unfriendly staff

The location proved quite good for getting around.

The ramp collapsed as I was leaving. I nearly fell. The staff argued loudly and seemed unfriendly at different times. I found the lack of response from management regarding safety concerns quite disappointing.
