loved this cozy retreat!

cozy designhelpful staffsmall tv
the room was modern with a super cozy interior design! the bedding was comfy. i found plenty of tea and coffee. there's a fridge for my drinks (bonus!). the communication from the staff was so helpful, and it's just a short walk to the centre.
the room was a little small, but it worked fine for me, maybe it would feel crammed with a dog. the tv was a bit small too, but i didn't watch much tv.

Wonderful Stay

efficient systemroom sizedining roomrestful room
The front door code and my room number arrived in a timely email. This system felt very efficient. The room had nice qualities. The shower provided good water pressure, I noticed. The room size suited me well. It sits only a short distance from the railway station, which I considered convenient. The spacious and clean bathroom was great. A fridge stood ready, an unexpected but welcomed feature. Breakfast time occurred in a well laid out dining room. I enjoyed a vegetarian breakfast, and it was delicious. My dog joined me, made me happy. The beds and chairs in the bedroom are cozy. The staff responded quickly to my needs and questions. The room provided ample space. I felt happy with how easy checkout went. I found the room restful.
The room was a bit cold at first.
