Very nice staff, tastfully decorated, small and intimate hotel. Excellent location! Definitely to be recommended. One drawback: we stayed in winter (August), and it was simply impossible to heat the room. More

The friendly service and great staff make this a top pick. Comfortable rooms -- not plush but the staff make it feel like home. Intimate surroundings promote meeting and sharing with an international array of guests. Will stay here again .... More
