I basically write this review to complain that the fitness room is total crap, but except for that it was a nice stay. Not my style of deco but the comfort was there and the breakfast was delicious. If it had been two people in the room, it would‘ve lacked a space to comfortably open the second suitcase.

Very nice house, good breakfast, the only drawback: textile floor covering in the room, that's not really my thing 😊

Hotel facilities and service very good. The breakfast was of good quality and had plenty of choice.|Unfortunately the restaurant was closed in the evening, so meals in the hotel were not possible. …

The only reason the room doesn't get 5 stars is because the shower consists of a fairly high bathtub, which is also very slippery.This is not a 4 star standard and is absolutely outdated and unacceptable these days.I get annoyed every time I come to an otherwise impeccable hotel and then find a shower situation like this.
