the location is central. i liked that i could easily walk to many places. the free car park was also very convenient..
the room i stayed in needed some updates. i noticed chipped furniture and cracked paint. the doors also closed very hard, which could be disturbing if people are up early or coming in late.

Excellent Location and River Views
central locationriver viewfree parkingclean bathroom
The hotel is centrally located and next to the river which I liked very much. The room was very spacious with views of the river and castle. The bathroom had both a bath and shower and everything was clean. The free parking was definitely a plus, they provide a ticket for the barrier.
The hotel room lacked air conditioning which is pretty standard nowadays. The gap under the door let in a lot of hallway noise. Some TV channels did not work properly.
Location

The hotel is near the heart of the city and is across from the castle. It is situated by the riverbank with very nice views of the surroundings. Many pubs and restaurants are within walking distance.
