Satisfactory stay in a historic location

spacious twin roommodern stylefriendly staffdamp smell
I appreciated the spacious twin room provided for my stay. The ensuite bathroom was recently renovated with a modern style. I found the shower to be generously sized. The staff at reception proved friendly and very helpful.
The hotel had a slight damp smell throughout my visit. Everything in the room seemed very dated, including a broken lampshade. I noticed the bed was not particularly comfortable, negatively affecting my rest.
Dining

Breakfast offered good value. I needed gluten-free options such as cereal and bread. Luckily, I brought my own gluten-free cereal and bread, and the kitchen staff kindly prepared them for me each morning.
