The hotel is situated in a quiet residential area and within walking distance of buses. The rooms offer a very comfortable bed, making for a restful stay, with a great value for money. The service provided was excellent, particularly the housekeeping. However, the dining options, mainly around salmon dishes, left room for improvement.
