A decent stay

great location fresh food noisy fan pigeon problem

The location WORKS well! I could EASILY walk to the castle. Breakfast had tasty, freshly cooked food. It REALLY got my day going.

The room got super hot during the day. A small, noisy fan just DIDN'T cut it. The windows SHOULD remain closed. I noticed a note about a pigeon problem and that's NOT ideal.

Great Location with Notable Breakfast

castle walls great view

I found the staff cute. The room had a great view of the Castle walls and Cathedral. The area became quiet after 11 pm, so sleep was not disturbed. The hotel provided good value for the price I paid.

Breakfast was very good and cooked to order, a nice touch. I had a roast beef sandwich. It ranked among the best I have ever tasted. The hotel provides a pleasant restaurant for its guests.
