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.

Brilliant stay in a modern and clean room. Bed was extremely comfy and the room had everything you needed. The congratulations card for our wedding (we were on our honeymoon) was a lovely touch!
