Excellent stay
Excellent service and food. Room was very nice and was clean and very well decorated. Staff friendly and helpful. On one of the busiest days, due to the Christmas market, the staff stayed attentive and we never had to wait long to be served.

Fabulous stay. The room was airy and clean, with lots of little extras to make us feel special. The bed was a super king size and very comfortable with the added bonus of a teddy waiting for us.
The staff were super friendly and we had a free drink upon arrival in the bar.
We ate in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast and both were excellent as was the service.
Check out was simple with no hidden surprises.
