We had a ground room with no kitchen or balcony. It was a bit noisy with people outside an stomping on the floor above. Bed was comfortable. 👍
Ps it would have been nice to have hot chocolate as an option for a hot drink but there was only tea and instant coffee.
Great stay. Very convenient place for travel and catch up with friends.
Having the bistro on the same site was great, with very nice meals and comfort.
