The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of town, right opposite the castle and cathedral. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, but the smart shower was a great surprise. The service was exceptional, and the welcome drink added a nice touch. However, the lack of dining options like finger food was a downside. The location is unbeatable for exploring the town, but the price could be a bit high for some visitors.

The rooms were cozy and had fantastic amenities like a double and single bed, perfect for reading in bed. The service was impeccable, with a warm welcome drink and excellent housekeeping. The dining experience was outstanding with globally inspired dishes, and the facilities were top-notch.
