Charming Spot with Great Access

convenient location airport connections easy access
I found the hotel location really convenient. There's good connections to the airport. It was nice that I had easy access to the city center. Breakfast included a great selection, I liked that.
The walls felt thin. The noise from other rooms was occasionally distracting. I woke up when the doors slam.

direct bus stop full cooked breakfast helpful staff convenient fridge
The bus stop directly outside was so convenient. A full cooked breakfast was available with many options. The staff were friendly and helpful, ensuring a very smooth check-in. I found a fridge in the room, a nice touch for storing drinks and snacks.
The parking charge seemed a little excessive, considering the amount of available space.

The hotel features a bar and a spacious lounge area, decorated in a slightly dated style. It still provides adequate service, everything is clean. i did not check if there was an elevator available, due to my ground floor location.
