Convenient Stay Near the City Center

friendly staff breakfast variety clean room

I found the staff friendly and helpful . The breakfast offered plenty of choice, including gluten-free bread upon request, a thoughtful touch. I appreciated the room's cleanliness and that it had a desk and a chair.

The parking was totally unsuitable for anything bigger than a Mini, it was very tight, so watch your wheels. i say lift but it's REALLY a one person lift.

Dining

9/10

The breakfast included various options such as boiled eggs, omelets, cheese, and sausage. A selection of toasts, croissants, juice, water, coffee, and fresh fruits like apples, pears, and bananas were available. I thought the HEINEKEN beer was perfect and reasonably priced.
