Friendly staff, great breakfast, convenient location. You can use the bus or even walk from the city. The room was comfortable, and I really liked the building. The pretty bathroom made me feel fancy. I found this to be the perfect B&B; feels like a home but is run with professional skill.

Absolutely wonderful stay! The host was incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The location is perfect - just a pleasant 20-minute walk to the city center. The accommodation was spotlessly clean throughout. We were particularly impressed by the host's friendliness and genuine hospitality. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with a personal touch!
