A Basic, But Clean Stay
excellent breakfast helpful staff early checkout uncomfortable bed
The location was a great one. We had a beautiful view of the cathedral from our room. The breakfast was excellent with choices for all and it's a highlight. The staff were helpful assisting with luggage storage.
The bed weren't really comfortable. After a six hour drive I did sleep, but not very well. Check out was 9.30 so that felt a little early.

the breakfast had multiple choices and tasted superb. staff are friendly and helpful with questions i had. the view of the surroundings was a great treat i didn't expect. i appreciate the peaceful atmosphere.
the shower temperature was inconsistent, fluctuating between warm and cold. i hope this gets resolved for future visitors. the limited hot water made my mornings a little difficult.

average stay near cathedral
lack of heating broken bath
The location is very good for reaching the city center, and it is quiet at night.
The room lacked heating and I felt cold in the evenings, this was disappointing. The bath also did not work, rendering it unusable . I found this quite inconvenient and it detracted from the overall experience.
