The hotel offered a comfortable stay for families with kids in a lovely area, but the deep bathtub might not suit everyone. The room had a high ceiling and a cozy bed, providing a comfortable experience overall. However, the price was a bit high for the value provided.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the high ceilings made some parts feel less cozy. The bathtub was a nice touch, but the minimalist furnishing might not be to everyone's taste. The service was friendly, but there were some issues with the airport shuttle. The location was convenient, being near a supermarket, although not too close to the railway station. The dining experience was average, with only homemade jams standing out. The facilities were satisfactory, though nothing exceptional.
