The usual rate includes a huge and tasteful breakfast and tea time with cake and coffee. There is also a fridge located on the ground floor where guests can purchase snacks and drinks. Bathrobes are available by request. Each room comes with a small kitchenette and fridge and there are family suites available as well. + Service: prompt and friendly Others: depending on which floor you are staying some rooms might be noisier (those close to the breakfast area) than others. Credit cards accepted.
