Würde das Hotel für einen Kurztrip mit Auto definitiv weiterempfehlen !
Pros:

Lage ist super, Preis Leistung war gut, das Personal ist wirklich sehr sehr freundlich, die Parkmöglichkeit ist außergewöhnlich günstig für die Lage und unser Hauptgrund für die Wahl gewesen

Cons:

Für jemanden mit leichtem Schlaf eine etwas hellhörige Wohnung, ist aber den traditionellen Häusern geschuldet :)

Comfy, cosy and impeccably well located.
Pros:

Great location, quiet and in a beautiful neighbourhood; just outside the chaos of the centre. Rooms are quiet and comfy, despite the single room being very small. Staff are a delight, always happy to help. Superb value overall.
