The staff was friendly and cute. My room was at the back of the building, so it was quiet. I found the bed comfortable and I slept well (which is very important for me).
The kitchen was closed, so no food was available.

The room was super clean. The communication regarding check in proved efficient.
The internet access was nonexistent. I also found the lack of food service and bar availability, apart from Thursday and Friday, unacceptable, especially considering the cost of the four-night stay.
