Unique interior design, beautifully done. Very friendly and helpful staff. Late check out and my husband stayed in the (not open) bar lounge for the afternoon whilst I did some sightseeing, as he wasnt feeling great. Fantastic breakfast. We had a large room with an upstairs mezzanine bathroom (beware if you have mobility problems). Despite being in a busy location our room was very quiet. Pricey but truly a wonderful place for a weekend break.

The upgraded room was absolutely amazing with a gorgeous view over the church and city square. And the honesty bar? Wow, just wow.
