central charm, minor hiccups
central location natural light welcome gift
i Appreciated the very central location near the castle. the room offered natural light coming through windows. A box of biscuits was a lovely welcome GIFT. Access instructions felt super easy and very clear to follow.
The wifi was unreliable. The signal kept dropping. this. a more stable connection is important.
Dining
8/10
this place does not offer breakfast onsite, though a location just across from the tower provides such service. prices seemed acceptable, and the service was okay. it's convenient for a quick meal before sightseeing.
