Lovely vibe, comfy beds, great location, connected restaurant, thoughtful extras.
Pros:

Loved the carefully cultivated vibe. Beds were very comfortable. Loved the dessert just waiting for us in the room. Great location, and very handy to have a restaurant downstairs. Some tours even left from the back of the hotel, so location was fantastic. We had to leave before breakfast, but they made us a lovely to-go bag to have some food and tea/coffee for our drive.

Pros:

A berendezés, a természetesség, a reggeli minősége és választék.

Cons:

Nagyon zajos volt a szobánk. Az utcára nyílt és alatta van a bár/ kávézó terasza. A reggelizőben a félhomály furcsa volt, sötét . Ár - érték arányban drága szállás volt.
