The location was perfect, so central! we could walk everywhere easily. the reception staff were very helpful throughout my visit. the rooms were also quiet and clean. The beds were very comfortable!

i found the absence of shower gel in the shower a bit inconvenient, and it wasn't resolved even after i mentioned it. the mini bar was also empty, a little disappointing. it would have been nice to have some refreshments available upon arrival.

Uneven Experience at Garden Accommodations

parking feenoisy street

The provided information about parking was not accurate. I had to pay 30€ without any prior notice. The room got very hot upon arrival. I had requested a room facing the garden, but I ended up on the first floor facing a noisy paved street. It was far from ideal.
