The location couldn't be better, right in the heart of everything, making it easy to explore local bars, restaurants, and sights. I loved the warm ambiance created by the giant trees and the cleanliness of the rooms, which made it feel cozy and inviting. Plus, the breakfast options were delightful, especially the traditional porridge and delicious coffee.
