We loved the hotel's cleanliness and how well-maintained everything was, especially the bathrooms and kitchen facilities. The friendly staff made us feel welcomed, and the free bike rentals were a fantastic bonus for exploring. The quiet location just outside the main area was perfect for a restful stay, yet it remained convenient, with only a short drive needed to reach shops and restaurants.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, where everything was impeccably clean and well-maintained. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. I loved the fact that they provided fresh bread every morning, along with two well-equipped kitchens who enjoy cooking. The location was convenient too; just a short drive to shops and local attractions, which made exploring the area a breeze.
