the staff was friendly and gave a complete tour upon arrival. i found a variety of food and drinks at the restaurant. the room had a beautiful medieval style (i liked it a lot).
the area was noisy because of traffic. the room windows did not block sounds well. it was hard to sleep with so much noise outside.

This is a pub hotel with a lot of character. The staff was helpful . I found them attentive. The food served in the pub downstairs was amazing, with generous portions. I appreciated the unique bathroom design in my room.
The steps to reach the rooms are quite steep. I found it a bit difficult to manage with my luggage.
