Initial check-in experience made me question my choice as the person at the reception made me quite uncomfortable. However the room itself and the charm of the hotel compensated the initial hesitation. Breakfast - small selection but tasty. Clean and spacious room. Added bonus - free bike rental. I would definitely come back.
