The hotel is well-situated, providing quick access to local attractions and shopping areas. While the staff was accommodating and the breakfast exceeded my expectations, my room felt cramped and lacked a proper window which was quite disappointing given the price. There were some ongoing renovations that made my stay less enjoyable as well.

My room was quite small and felt cramped, situated on the top floor with just a skylight instead of a proper window. Considering the price, I found it hard to justify the value given the room's size and decor.

This hotel has a unique charm and offers an exceptional breakfast buffet. Its central location makes it easy to explore nearby attractions, although the rooms can get quite hot during the day. The hospitality of the staff is commendable, making for a warm and welcoming stay. Room temperature can be an issue, and improvements in air conditioning would enhance comfort.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel overall. The room I stayed in was spacious and comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a day out. The location couldn’t be better, as it’s conveniently close to shops and restaurants. However, it was unusually warm during my visit, and the lack of air conditioning was a bit challenging. Still, the breakfast was excellent with plenty of variety which made my mornings enjoyable.

This hotel offers a charming old-world ambiance with a well-located position by the waterfront, which makes exploring the area easy. The beds are extremely comfortable, and the breakfast spread is delightful with plenty of choices. However, some aspects like the lift situation and the general feel of the decor could use a refresh. The absence of a staffed restaurant during our stay was a letdown, particularly when we expected to dine on-site.
Rooms

Our room was comfortable with a lovely view, although the design felt a bit outdated. It came with two large beds and was quite cozy, but some plumbing was exposed and shouldn’t be overlooked. Watching out for noise from the outside at night was necessary.

The hotel is right in the heart of the town, making it easy to find local attractions and eateries nearby. It was just a short walk to the cathedral, which was a bonus.

Breakfast was a highlight, featuring a wide range of both hot and cold options, including gluten-free selections. However, the lack of an available restaurant during our visit was disappointing as we’d hoped for an on-site dining option.

Facilities were decent, but the elevator felt outdated and could pose a safety risk. More accessible features would enhance the experience.
