The property uses smart check-in and mobile ordering throughout. Staff are of course available, so if you’re unsure about anything, they will assist you and there’s no problem. It felt like unnecessary extras have been eliminated to enhance the quality of meals and other services. The Room with a semi-open-air bath was more than spacious enough. The interior seems to have been renovated, so it didn’t feel particularly old, but the Room is not barrier-free and there were quite a few steps/level changes. The staff were friendly, and overall it was a very satisfying Accommodation.One thing: free coffee was provided in the lobby, but unfortunately it wasn’t drinkable. I used it while waiting to check in, and since that’s an important moment that shapes first impressions of an Accommodation, I wanted to mention it.

Both breakfast and dinner were excellent. The meals made generous use of local ingredients and were thoughtfully prepared, which made them a pleasure. In the bar lounge where dessert was served after the meal, jazz played on vinyl records, and I found myself absorbed for a while in a book that explained coffee in detail (along with many other hobby books, including guides to wine and cocktails). It’s a small Hotel, but I felt it had a calm, pleasant atmosphere.
