Your staff were a credit to you, simply brilliant and faultless, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The facilities and cleanliness were excellent too, breakfast also excellent, thank you. My only criticism would be the additional cost for parking, which we felt was excessive.

Great place. Easy parking and easy access from main highway. Did not have breakfast but room wonderful. 2 x double bed in a suite for a family of 4. Each side of the suite has a double bed facing a large TV. Microwave, sink and kettle really helped. Lovely big bathroom. All round really nice place. We drove to P+R Lederburg and took number 1 or number 3 tram into the centre. About 6 stops. Would stay again.
