fantastic location with super service

i enjoyed the location, a short walk to the heart of the city. i found the tea and coffee provisions in the room quite useful. the owner arranged parking permits for a reasonable fee, convenient for me.
I noticed the stairs to the first-floor rooms are quite steep. this could be a challenge with mobility issues. Perhaps a clear warning could help.

the location was ideal near the river and city center. i appreciated the availability of parking permits arranged by the owner for a small fee. my room overlooked the river, it had a comfortable bed and it was very clean.
the stairs to the first floor were quite steep, which presented a challenge after a long day of walking and sightseeing.

the hotel sits conveniently near the river ouse, with medieval city center walls just 200 meters away. a variety of restaurants and pubs are within a short ten minute walk from the premises, quite convenient.
Dining

there are several seating areas, including table sets in the front garden, facing the river. this allows guests to bring back food and eat comfortably on the premises. the hotel does not offer a restaurant service though.
