staff was very helpful. The double room featured a four-poster bed. It also offered cathedral views. Breakfast included fresh fruit salad and croissants. I also liked the yoghurt.
the bathtub felt SMALL. i am 5'6" and 160#. someone much bigger wouldn't fit inside it. There was no hand spray. this made it difficult to wash and rinse my hair.

Quaint Hotel with Cathedral Views
historical buildingoutdoor seatingcontinental breakfastattentive receptionist
The historical building is charming and next to the gate. The layout is maze-like, likely from historical expansions. A rooftop path and outdoor seating connect the reception to my room. The continental breakfast has friendly staff and overlooks Buttermarket Square. I saw a busker during my meal. The room was cozy and faced the cathedral. Receptionist Monica was attentive.
The heating never turned off, so I opened the window for coolness and encountered some noise.
