A Fairytale Stay!
modern bathroom excellent service fine decoration
My visit was Really good! The host helped carry my luggage to my room. That was so kind. The room was decorated stunningly. The ensuite bathroom was modern and wonderful. It.
The room and bed seemed a little old, I think some things need replacing, or a good refurbishment. The price was a bit high considering this.
Dining
10/10
The B&B offers breakfast. It has more than enough food for the morning and snacks for later. The host makes breakfast reservations at Cafe Grand, too. That is great service! The hot chocolate every day was a lovely touch.
Location

The hotel is in a great neighborhood, REALLY quiet but near shops and cafes. A short walk takes you to restaurants! There is also a bus stop only a 10-minute walk away. Public transportation is easy.

The room was super clean with everything needed! I slept better than I have in months. I loved the fluffy bath sheets. The toiletries were eco-friendly and good for sensitive skin. I appreciated that a LOT!
