Charming Stay in a Well-Located Hotel

cute vibe real fire comfortable rooms friendly staff
The hotel has a very cute vibe inside. A real fire really adds to it in winter. The rooms are excellent, really comfortable, and lovely. I found the staff very friendly.
I noticed there were many stairs. There is no lift, so this hotel is not suitable for persons with mobility issues or those with a lot of baggage.
