10/10 Exceptional

A well-equipped hotel in a quiet location. Historic architecture. Comfortable and clean. The room has everything you'll need for a few days. The floors are carpeted. They also provide slippers, which many hotels don't offer. There was a kettle and tea and coffee as gift. It's within walking distance of central locations. There's also a large park in front. Easy check-in and check-out. We stayed for four nights and I think everything was fine.

Lovely staff, the woman who greeted us was so sweet! Also very clean and spacious room, and good options in the hotel restaurant. Good distance to some restaurants as well, plus the bus stop. Only downside would be that the walls are quite thin, so we were woken up a few times during the night when neighbouring guests entered their rooms/talked.
