Angenehmes Hotel mit guter Vekehrsanbindung
Pros:

Zimmer sind groß und sauber. Gute Ablagemöglichkeiten im Bad. Busanbinding an die Innenstadt. Großer Parkplatz.

Cons:

Die Matratzen waren für unseren Geschmack etwas zu weich/durchgelegen. Die Fotos im Internert suggerieren eine andere Aussicht vom Balkon.

A very comfortable and convenient hotel.
Pros:

Large room. We enjoyed having a balcony and being able to ventilate the room and it had a nice bathtub. The restaurant food was lovely. We rented very good e-bikes from the hotel and spent a day cycling with the Dutch. They are so proficient.

Cons:

The aircon wouldn’t go below 18 degrees which is too warm for us at night and too noisy to sleep with the door open. However that’s just us.
