Homey and Convenient Stay
quiet atmosphere clean room plentiful breakfast convenient location
The room included two single beds, a TV, coffee making facilities, and a washbasin. It was quiet at night, although the center and seafront are a short walk. There are enough bathrooms with showers and bathtubs for everyone on each floor. Breakfast had fresh fruits, yoghurts, nutella, toast, juice, and coffee.
The shared bathroom facilities were not always as clean as I would have liked. have different standards.
