I found several issues . The room was quite small. Space was limited for luggage. Housekeeping did not clean the room one day. The shower gel bottle was empty, fresh towels were not provided, and there was a stain on the bedframe. This was quite unpleasant!!!

central locationgood breakfastlate afternoon snackssmall roomno closetinsufficient space

The location was very central. Breakfast offered good value. Late afternoon drinks with snacks were a nice addition. I will consider this hotel for future visits.

Our cosy room was quite small. There was no closet. The space to hang a towel was insufficient. This room could function better as a single room.
