The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. Good breakfast. The stuff was helpful and polite. Great location, near the river and the castle. Would stay here again!
The room was clean, facilities were good - tea/coffee making etc. Outside of hotel is deceptive as quite big in side and a lovely bar/breakfast area on ground floor and restaurant and roof top bar on 6th floor. Such a brilliant and convenient location, just next to the castle and cathedral. Overlooking the river and a 10 min stroll to the square.

Staying here was a great experience. The staff was very helpful and we were close to all the fun activities in the center. I definitely recommend this place.
Excellent hotel, well located under the city walls for easy access to the Old City Centre, beautiful views over the river. Skybar for meals and drinks with a view. Limited breakfast and dinner menu but all food fresh and beautifully presented. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Will return
