convenient location friendly staff helpful advice
The location proved very convenient. The funicular to the castle was accessible directly through the hotel's parking area (it saved time getting up there). I also appreciated the staff's friendliness. They offered helpful advice. (I found this very useful)
The minibar did not include a bottle opener. (A minor inconvenience.)
