Skønt hotel med perfekt lokation.
Pros:

Dette hotel er et rigtig godt hotel. Store værelser, gode senge og en fantastisk bruser med masser af varmt vand. Virkelig god morgenmad og det sødeste personale. Ligge perfekt.

Cons:

Værelset var meget koldt, så man frøs en del. En alarm i nærheden gik i gang 3 ud af vores 4 nætter, tidligt om morgenen.

Lovely place and great location
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and efficient, the room was clean. We loved the old building with the courtyard in the middle. The restaurant was also great - loved the wood fired pizzas
