charming spot in central location

helpful staff spacious room cheap car park

the staff was very cute and helpful. check-in was easy! the room was spacious. the bed felt comfy. the location is ideal. it is close to the main street. the nearest car park is very cheap. it costs 3 euro for 24 hours.

the manager's tone was sarcastic when we asked for directions to the car park. the details were included in our confirmation email. it would have been more helpful if we'd been told about the drop-off point for luggage right outside the hotel. there are yellow no-parking lines. it made us hesitant.
