Reviews
The kitchen is also very good, I was missing a stove, but then again you have free tea/coffee which is awesome.
The staff/owner is very nice as well. (Very) late arrival was no problem at all, I sent an email and they responded within an hour, arranged everything for me and I had a warm and cozy bed waiting for me after a very long and tiring drive.
Bathroom / restroom is very clean as well, you also have a sink in the room, which is nice, so you don't have to go to the bathroom to shave/brush your teeth.
Really appreciated the hospitability.
10/10 would recommend!
