We had the smallest hotel room I have ever stayed in but it was incredibly comfortable and well stocked with anything we needed. The hotel itself is beautiful and the breakfast is wonderful! The hotel is a short walk from the train station to the airport and right in the center of everything. Would definitely stay here again.
