“Symposium Bed&Breakfast appeals most for its location and warm service; the main train and bus stations are steps away, easing travel considerably. Rooms are spacious, some offering sea views that capture the sunrise. I find the generous breakfast, including vegan and gluten-free choices, a thoughtful touch for every guest.”
