The room was spacious. The walk-in shower included a good range of items. This was much appreciated! The breakfast buffet presented many options. There was even a specific section for gluten-free foods.
The hotel is located on a pedestrian street. My Satnav had some trouble finding it!

The room was spacious. It had lovely views and a great location.
The room had outdated furniture! the tiniest bed to share was really uncomfortable and the pillows were bad. I wouldn't stay here again unless they renovate. The windows let a ton of air and noise pass through.
