Pros:

Absolutely Everything, A hidden gem of a place. Absolutely beautiful and everyone there could not have been any more helpful. We arrived unfortunately quite late as our train had been delayed. We were contacted by the property to check in, whilst on the train so that we could go straight to our rooms when we arrived - as we would be tired, so thoughtful and kind. The location was superb, 10 mins walk from the train station. Thank you xx

Boutiqie hotel midden in het centrum in een steeg met zeer toegewijd personeel. Prima voor shortstay
Pros:

Ik arriveerde pas om 01.15 in de ochtend. Dus geen personeel meer aan de balie maar een hele goede uitleg hoe ik zelf check-in kon doen. Daar hebben ze echt werk van gemaakt , inclusief wachtwoord voor wifi etc, allemaal via persoonlijke Whatsapp.
Hotel is een echt boutiqie hotel gesitueerd in een steeg, dus heel stil.
Kamer was ook prima qua grootte en badkamer ook.
