Excellent location, peaceful environment. Good value for money, accommodation was needed only for sleeping. Good basic breakfast, fresh warm bread is a big plus. Friendly customer service.

The quiet location to the BSI Terminal and the city center, the breakfast room is appealing.

I don't like to share toilet and shower with other guests.

So close to the church and one of the main streets. The room was very comfortable. The manager was able to let us in our room earlier than check-in time which we greatly appreciate it. I really like their breakfasts.

The bathroom window didn’t close and it was chilly so I didn’t take a shower.
