Family-Friendly Extras

“During our stay as a family of four, I was really surprised by the accommodations for our children. They provided coloring books, crayons, and board games in the social area, which kept them entertained. The highlight was when they delivered two pieces of cheesecake with candles for our daughter's birthday breakfast. This thoughtful gesture made her day truly special!” view full review

Late Night Swimming

“The pool was a fantastic addition to our stay, as it was open until 10 PM without requiring a booking. We enjoyed two swims during our one-night visit, perfect for unwinding with the kids after a long day at Lego Land. The warm water and relaxing atmosphere made our time in the pool enjoyable.” view full review

Spacious Family Room

“We stayed in a spacious room that featured a comfortable layout with a large double bed and a separate bathroom. The room had a great heating system that we could adjust according to our needs, ensuring a comfortable night's sleep. I appreciated the extra amenities, like the fridge and large TV, which enhanced our experience.” view full review

Variety at Breakfast

“The breakfast spread was superb, with hot and cold options that catered to everyone in my family. The children especially loved the pancake maker and the endless generous supply of Nutella. The experience of enjoying this meal together each morning made a lovely start to our days.” view full review
