The hotel is located in a charming area by a central garden, with several private sitting areas nearby. It's a bit of a journey from the city center but easy to access, and there are plenty of bars and restaurants close by. The rooms offer a cozy atmosphere with two beds, facing the back garden, and feature comfortable beds. However, the dining experience, especially the jams, could use improvement.
