I booked this hotel from 12 to 16 February but was forced to leave on 13 February due to the condition of the room. The cleanliness was completely unacceptable.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (135 reviews)
Very nice apartments. Parking right in front of the apartment. Very clean. Indivudual washrooms so not sharing washrooms with other apartments. Very spacious inside. And many amenities in the kitchen like pots and pans to cook if you want, and a kettle etc. Highly recommend this apartment!!

Cafe Krus. Fabulous coffee and cake. Plus meals from breakfast to dinner
