"This was a wonderful place to stay. The rooms are bright, comfortable beds and a beautiful bathroom. The room had a record player with a couple of old records in it. We found that pretty fun. It has a nice bar and restaurant downstairs that we enjoyed a great meal, a little pricey. . The staff were fun, kind and helpful. The breakfast was a typical European style breakfast which I and my friend enjoyed coffee was great. The only thing I would like to see is more hanging space in the bathroom.and a second chair in the room."
