Fine hotel, very comfortable rooms and very good breakfast. Short walking to the centre. No bar facility would be the only negative, but plenty of options in short walking distance

On my room little things like the douche glas door was too short so the water was all over the floor after a shower and you could see the wooden doorpost was attached/rotten quite a bit, not a big issue for me, but, for a 4 star hotel not what you would expect. The breakfast for me was defenitely not great for the money you pay, and it is dark in the cellar, (no windows) not a cosey environment to stay, but hey, out there are lots of opportunities. For the rest a nice and good stay.
