The room was impeccably clean and well kept. I liked the little kitchen, equipped with all essentials. The location is central, offering easy access to the town's attractions. Early check-in was accommodated, which i appreciated after a long trip.
The television signal was inconsistent , making it difficult to enjoy streaming services.

Central Stay

I appreciated the central location. The room was very comfy and tidy (the bed was amazing!). Communication with the host was easy and prompt. The kitchen had all necessary items, perfect for a short stay.
The access to the hotel is only available via stairs. This could be unsuitable with mobility issues.

Stylish and Convenient Stay
stylish roommini fridgeinformation folderlow shower
I found the room very stylish. It was also very clean (I like that). Access to Netflix plus use of a mini fridge were great. The location is excellent since you are very close to the town center. I also loved the folder of information. It featured snippets about local history and nice places to eat.
The shower head was too low for a tall person. I wish this was noted somewhere, as it made showering uncomfortable. The television signal was also very poor. I couldn't watch anything.
Facilities

The hotel offers complimentary toiletries in each shower room, a nice touch. The rooms also include a well-equipped kitchen, giving you the option to prepare your own meals during your stay.
Dining

The restaurant adjacent to the apartments serves really good food and cocktails. The staff are consistently friendly and helpful (I recommend the specials!). The combination of great food and excellent service makes it a worthwhile experience.
