"The staff was professional and friendly. They spoke enough English to answer basic questions. The bed was more comfortable than most places. The basic room was spacious for one person. The breakfast was wonderful! Sausage or bacon, eggs, crepes, croissants, deli meat, cheese, variety of jams and nutella, yogurt and cappuccino machine for EUR 13.50 each day. Well worth the price and my favorite thing about the hotel. My only concern is the AC kept turning off on it's own, even in the middle of the night. Otherwise, a solid hotel."
