10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location just opposite the train station and a short walk to the main square. Helpful and friendly staff. Got an upgraded room which was the biggest room we’ve ever stayed in! Only minor issue was the number of light switches in the room - over complicated. Otherwise a wonderful stay."
