Good hotel in a great location.

Nice hotel right in the old town. Really large room, comfy bed and pillows! Easy check in/out. Very clean. Shower was a little bit leaky under the door, and wasn’t a removable head! Also no shelf at all in the shower which made it a little awkward. It would have been nice to have tea/coffee facilities in the room, or some cold milk in the lounge area to make a tea! Breakfast wasn’t really to our taste, croissant and cakes were a bit dry and kept running out too.

This is a great cost effective hotel if you care about location, safety, and a quiet escape at night. Hotel is dated but clean and has everything you need. Only drawback was that the beds were too firm (from someone who usually likes firm beds) imo.

The hotel and the staff were amazing and VERY friendly. I had to check-out very early to leave for the airport. My reservation included breakfast in the hotel (which was delicious) but since I had to leave at 3:30am, the front desk clerk even asked me if I would like to have breakfast prepared in advance so I could have breakfast available at 3:30am. I declined but was very surprised and pleased that they offered that as an option. The location is also perfect. I highly recommend this hotel to others.

A superb Hotel in a great location

Excellent hotel in a perfect location. The hotel staff were friendly, helpful, with a great knowledge of the area. The first floor 'Orangery' was a great place to wind down after a busy day and coffee/hot drinks were complementary. The break selection was excellent, with plenty of choice.
