Lovely stay with excellent service and charm

decorated roomfree parkingspeciality coffeebright lighting
I appreciated the well-decorated room. It had a very good shower and towels. the quiet atmosphere. The hotel provided free parking which was very convenient. I enjoyed the excellent breakfast with a good selection of food included in the room rate. The speciality coffee machine was a real treat.
The bright lighting in the room made it difficult to relax completely in the evening. The bedside glass lamps provided insufficient light for reading before sleep.
Location
9/10
The hotel is near the town square, a convenient spot for exploring nearby shops and restaurants, as well as the market that occurs every fourth Saturday of the month, offering local goods. Ease of parking is a bonus, especially on days other than the market, when spaces are readily available directly outside.
Rooms

Our superior king room had a comfortable king-size bed with quality bedlinen that ensured restful sleep. There were stacks of teabags and milk sachets. These allowed us to enjoy hot drinks at our leisure. A powerful shower provided an invigorating start to each day.

The room was quite noisy. Drinkers and cars at the back and front of the hotel made a lot of noise after midnight. People talked outside after closing time. There was no fan in the room so it felt stuffy
