wonderful family stay

friendly staffcomfortable roomintense heating

I found the staff very friendly and knowledgeable. They helped. the room was also very comfortable for my family of four. i also found a supermarket nearby, convenient. it was a short walk into the city, easy to explore.

the basic nature of the room was fine, but the winter heating system was very intense. this made it uncomfortably hot at times, hard to adjust.
