The location near the train station was GREAT. I found the luggage storage service very helpful after checking out, this allowed me to explore more before traveling home later.

historical gem
helpful staff quiet atmosphere short walk
I found the pantry useful. It had basically everything i needed. the staff were wonderfully helpful, and the quiet atmosphere was something i particularly ADORED. the location felt quite safe, situated just outside the city walls, and a short walk to the city center.
the building work and scaffolding didn't especially add to the beauty, but i could still feel its charm.
Rooms

the Double Room had a comfortable bed that was a lovely size and the decor gave a feeling of romance. bright lights were installed in the room, and the room had air conditioning, easy to manage the temperature.

small room extra charge
the staff was very friendly.
The room was too small, the price didn't seem justified. i think it was only based on the location, honestly. we had to pay extra for a full english breakfast. I didn't like that.

Okay, but not excellent
small room extra breakfast cost
The room was really small. I felt a bit claustrophobic. breakfast wasn't included as I thought. They only provided a small selection of granola for free. If you wanted a proper breakfast, you had to pay extra. It felt a bit cheap, to be honest.
