quiet stay near the city

good varietyattentive staffflickering light
the breakfast offered a good variety and catered to specific dietary needs. i found the staff very friendly and helpful, they were attentive to all requests. i especially appreciated the receptionist securing a first-floor room for us, this was very helpful after a long day.
the bathroom light flickered constantly. this made it somewhat inconvenient to use in the evenings and should probably be addressed to prevent further issues.
