First off, location is brilliant. You are in the old town, cobbled streets, cute cafes and restaurants up and down the street within a minute walk... If you have bags, or are an elderly traveller, there is a small lift at reception too, great plus. Staff were friendly and helpful, spoke english extremely well.... But then then came the room... more

This hotel really cannot be faulted. The location was perfect - a 10 minute walk from the station and 10 minute walk from Markt Square. Lots of lovely cafes and restaurants nearby. The room was well appointed and very clean, with a TV, fridge, heating and aircon, lovely shower/bathroom, haridryer and safe. My only negative comment is the plastic cups... more

We booked through Driveline and had booking confirmed. But when we arrived, we were told that there was no room for us as they had taken a subsequent coach party booking.

We arrived quite a while after the rest of our group and were allocated what was probably the last room available. This was in the annexe on the second floor and then up a short flight of stairs into one of two attic... more

This is not a four star hotel. At best it could be regarded as a moderate bed and breakfast establishment. My wife and I spent one night here on a short break. It was the worst hotel experience we have had in over thirty years travelling together. The room was dark and dull. It had a small poor quality TV... more
