admiring stay at the heart
convenient location clear instruction
The central location is very convenient near the high street. the reception team sent clear parking instructions ahead of time. The nearest garage was a short walk. i also appreciated the room size, perfect for three people. there was no noise from the bar below. The reception team was friendly with a later checkout.

A Pleasant Stay
convenient location great breakfast no elevator cramped bathroom
The location was very convenient for exploring nearby shops. Breakfast was great (especially the freshly prepared dishes!).
The lack of an elevator made carrying luggage difficult. The bathroom felt a bit cramped and could use some updating.
