a haven of tenderness

efficient process little gestures clean sheets
The check-in process felt simple and efficient. i discovered little gestures throughout my stay. there were umbrellas available for loan and chargers for various devices too. the cleanliness of the sheets was apparent. I could tell they were dried outdoors.
unfortunately the room felt too warm due to pipes from the boiler. i found myself on the ground floor, but privacy felt compromised.

breakfast was excellent! a buffet of juices and fresh fruit was available. the room was clean and well-equipped too. the bus stop outside was super convenient for getting around. yay!
The soundproofing wasn't the best. I could hear some noise from other guests, a minor distraction.

lovely stay near the city center

friendly staff free parking clean room
i visited the city. friendly staff offered to carry my bags up the stairs, and i found free parking. a bus stop to the city center is very close, with rides taking only 20 minutes. the room was clean and tidy, and this.
i couldn't find the hairdryer in the room, though the description said it would be included.
