Acceptable stay

strategic locationgood breakfastsmall roombed accessibility
The hotel has a strategic location. It is close to everything you will ever need (including shops and restaurants). The breakfast was enough for a good start into the day.
The room was small. There was only one side of the bed accessible (a couple would have to climb over each other).
