I We were three guests and the double room was well equipped with a double bed and couch bed with a microwave, coffee/tea machine, refrigerator, cutlery and crockery and standard bathroom supplies. The service was extremely prompt, responsive and accommodating, and the location was perfect with neighborhood restaurants, grocery stores and shops. Our ten day stay left little to be desired. I give it a high recommendation. I did not eat here but at the Grand Cafe below wi a 10% hotel discount for an excellent breakfast.

We thought this was an extremely engaging family owned boutique hotel with rooms of different sizes, little kitchenettes.
