I found the staff very friendly and helpful. i especially appreciated diana. She. breakfast had good variety, especially the selection of small cheeses (i enjoyed these a lot!).

the superior room felt quite small. i arranged an upgrade on the spot, okay. i found the absence of a cozy bar for a coffee disappointing (there was not much atmosphere).
