The location is amazing. I could walk nearly everywhere. breakfast was great with a nice variety for everyone. oskar, the chef, was particularly nice. i really enjoyed the well kept rooms and the pleasant atmosphere in general.

Acceptable Stay with a Few Drawbacks

limited spacepoor mattress
The room size felt quite limited. There was hardly any floor space. The bed was only 140 cm for two people. The mattress was of poor quality. I didn't sleep well. I expected better for the price, considering the limited space and uncomfortable sleeping arrangements.
