Really good Hotel Experience!
prime locationextensive breakfastcomplimentary prosecco
I stayed for several nights and found the location amazing, right by the royal castle! Breakfast included hot eggs, sausages, and toast. The sky bar had great views and food. I loved the complimentary Prosecco too.
The room was quite small. I thought it seemed bigger in the pictures.

Wonderful Stay by the River
helpful staffexcellent locationfabulous viewexcellent choice
I stayed here for a few nights and found the staff helpful. They readily suggested places for sightseeing. The location is excellent, right next to the river and the castle, meaning many sites are within a short walk. The rooftop bar offered fabulous views. The breakfast had an excellent choice of foods.
The standard room was small, but still manageable for a short stay.
