a pleasant stay

friendly staffnice roomcomfortable bedsgood coffee
the staff was very friendly upon my arrival and welcomed me warmly. the room was indeed nice, and the beds proved to be comfortable (exactly what i needed after a long day). i would definitely consider staying here again. the breakfast was also good with lots of options and great coffee, a pleasant surprise indeed.
i found a bit of dust in the corners of the room, though nothing too major.

the breakfast had a good variety and was cooked to order, acceptable.
The broken windows let a draught in all night, not ideal i must say. also, the shower really needed an upgrade. It was a bit like standing under a leaky faucet. the general maintenance seemed lacking.
