A great stay. Rooms are a bit small, but completely functional. Otherwise, the hotel was very clean and nicely decorated.

Breakfast selection is good for one or two days but if you stay longer it's still the same (and the coffee is disgusting). I wasn't satisfied with the cleaning service. They didn't provide us any toilet paper even that we only had about half a roll remaini...
