A Basic, But Clean Stay

excellent breakfasthelpful staffearly checkoutuncomfortable 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.

good locationlack of heatingbroken 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.
