We stayed 2 nights in a king studio room. The room is spacious and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Clean and well maintained room and good quality furniture, fittings etc. with a calming outlook into a central garden area. Recommendations on their website for local breakfast and dinner options were spot on. Highly recommended as a place to stay.

There is no soundproofing between floors. I could hear the person in the room above moving around at all times, and I could hear the alarm clock going off at 530 a.m. every 15 minutes for 3/4 of an hour. I was so very grumpy after three nights of this.
