Fantastic Stay!

fresh pastriesperfect locationfalse advertising

The breakfast had a lovely variety and generous portions. I especially enjoyed the fresh pastries. The location proved perfect with a short walk to the busiest section, but just far enough away to be quiet. I appreciated the view of the lake from my room, such a treat! The staff arranged a taxi to the station, super helpful.

The air conditioning seemed to be turned off. I saw it listed as a facility and it influenced my choice.

Dining

10/10

The breakfast included a Swedish table that had so many options. The staff was attentive and very friendly during breakfast service. There was a great view overlooking the lake during the breakfast hours.
