The hotel interior is minimal and pretty. We enjoyed our stay and the staff was friendly and there was always someone available. It has a restaurant which came in handy as everything around was closed for the holiday. The food was good although the menu was limited.

Quite a new and modern hotel, all facilities working properly. Shower is good, rooms are spacious and you see a very practical design in the rooms. The only thing I didnt enjoy was actually the breakfast. There were not that many options, mainly Croissant and cheese. You cannot even get a boiled egg. Overall recommended. Quite a central location with parking availability with 19euro daily price.
