wonderful riverside retreat

excellent location river view helpful staff
i found the hotel's location ideal. i could easily walk to the cathedral and other town attractions. the hotel overlooks the river and provides great views. the breakfast buffet had many choices and the staff was very helpful. dinner in the restaurant was very nice. a window table enhanced the experience.
i found the bathroom needed some attention. the shower taps felt loose!

lumpy bed watery eggs
The hotel location near the river was nice, but the room itself had issues. The bed was quite lumpy. It gave me a terrible backache. the breakfast buffet was subpar. The scrambled eggs were watery, and the bacon was barely cooked. I also thought that the staff seemed generally disinterested.

adequate stay with minor issues

cold bathroom single-glazed windows
the location was quite convenient for exploring the area.
Upon arrival, i noticed the room felt rather cold. The radiators were off. it took a considerable time for the room to warm up after i turned them on.. moreover, the bathroom lacked heating entirely, remaining cold throughout my stay. the single-glazed windows did little to mitigate the noise.
