What we loved the most is that the hotel is dog friendly! They really made our fur baby feel at home by bringing a dog bowl to our room and a dog bed so that felt really special! The hotel in general has such a cosy vibe, the staff are extremely friendly and the location is in the central of everything! I highly recommend this hotel and will be staying again in the future.
