I feel safa hotel is a little known gem! I visited the weekend of 31/01/25, and we really enjoyed the stay. Staff were very polite and welcoming, the rooms were spotless, and the location is exceptional. We booked for a weekend city break, and so this was perfect. I would highly recommend, and would definitely return to the hotel.

Ich habe 3 Nächte im Hotel verbracht und es war hervorragend. Das Hotel ist neu und sauber. Die Zimmer sind recht groß. Das Personal war immer freundlich und direkt hilfsbereit egal was für ein anliegen man hatte. Für die nächste Reise werde ich auf jeden Fall wieder hierher kommen

Wij vonden het een heel fijn hotel het is ook nieuw en dat merk je aan het hotel en de spullen in de kamer netjes en goede kwaliteit. Personeel en service helemaal top! Omgeving ideaal veel is op loopafstand. Enige nadeel de kamers zijn helaas gehorig waardoor je soms wel last ervaart van de kamers naast je of van de geluiden op de gang
