Monique France

Warm welcoming place with an amazing staff and manager. They were very kind to me and my dog. The hotel is very clean, my room was lovely and smelled so nice with a really good matrass. Breakfast was simple but enough choice and everything fresh. The area of the hotel is good, in walking distance of many beautiful shops, good restaurants and the trainstation.

Excellent staff at the reception both at day and night shift.
