The place was exceptionally comfortable and absolutely brilliant for a longer stay. We stayed for 1 night and liked the room, which was spotlessly clean and airy in the loft space had to bend over to get to the bathroom. The staff was pretty friendly and amiable the entire time. The breakfast was gorgeous, such variety, with hot options and toast, for example.
