The staff was friendly and provided guidance about local points of interest. The hotel had a very relaxed atmosphere. My room was super clean and comfortable. The modern appliances worked well. The bathroom was spacious and included fluffy towels.

The room had only blinds, not curtains. This made the courtyard view awkward sometimes. People occasionally sat there.

Fantastic Boutique Hotel!

excellent showerdelicious pizzahome bakerygreen light

The rooms featured comfortable design and excellent showers. Toiletries were also provided (I really liked the shampoo!). Street parking was available, so no need to worry about where to leave the car. The home bakery offered delicious pizzas, sandwiches, and baked goods. I got great coffee too.

I encountered a strange green light on the bedroom ceiling. This made it difficult to sleep throughout the night, a bit annoying.
