perfect location near the river

great locationcontinental spreadwater pressure
I found the location excellent for exploring the city centre. the private car park was a real bonus, especially since on-street parking seemed limited. the breakfast was very good. I especially enjoyed the variety of the continental spread (the bread rolls were very fresh).
the room was a bit small, and the shower's water pressure could be improved. this would, especially after a long day.
