I come from the area and am happy to recommend this hotel to friends, visitors and relatives. Great location in the countryside, very quiet at the end of the cul-de-sac. Nevertheless, the city center can be reached on foot in 15 minutes. Otherwise, I'll just join in with the other reviewers' adulation. Everything is true ;)
