Took the top 2 story suite. It requires walking up 6 flights of stairs but once there its a fabulous suite loaded with thoughful extra like coffee, cream and toothbrushes! You have view of square below through (small) window and view of city on both ends of suite, one from a small balconey. Includes a full kitchen, large screen Tv in a combo living room/dining room. A very comfortable small condo, one could live here. What a find!!

A room with a view! Hartje Budysin/Bautzen, maar je moet wel goed kunnen traplopen. Prima kamer, vriendelijke mensen. De bakker op de hoek serveert een goed ontbijt.
