    Everything! The location is superb (you're legitimately staying in a world heritage site and in the house that used to belong to one of its most famous engineers), it's walkable as well as good for cycling and with ample space for cars. The beds...

    Very nice breakfast bags with allergi-information as requested. Very nice and comfortable beds. The security was very good with different codes to different guests. Very nice with a sauna.

    Fantastic view over the mine, great clean room, and clean common kitchen. I would gladly recommend it, or use the bed and breakfast again.
