nice place, some drawbacks
lovely gardenresident cattube noisemotion sickness
the hotel has a lovely garden space. there are many rooms available for reading and relaxing. i found it charming that the hotel has a resident cat.
my room was quite small i think. the tube runs underneath the building, this meant the bed shuddered every few minutes during the night. this gave me some motion sickness .
