The staff were wonderful. Extremely helpful. The breakfast is included and amazing. Lots to choose from and a coffee machine with lots of options. They even offer champagne at breakfast for no additional charge! The room is small and the shower is tiny. This is normal in most of the European rooms we have stayed but worth noting in case you bring more than one large suitcase. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the location on the river.

The room was very basic-nothing fancy. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We needed an adapter and they had one to loan. Breakfast was awesome! Even had free prosecco for mimosas. Bread was fresh and selections were varied.

The room was spacious and the beds very comfortable. Location is perfectly walkable with lovely river proximity, yet not amidst the crowd. Excellent restaurant very close by. Breakfast a bit underwhelming. WiFi weak.
