This is our third or fourth stay at RFSK. We love this gorgeous urban oasis. The price for the stay, with an excellent breakfast and parking, is so reasonable. RFSK is clean and as long as you get a garden view room, it is very quiet. Everything is great quality. Simple but excellent. Very good public transport links as well. We love it and won’t stay anywhere else.
