mixed feelings about my stay
quiet streetuncomfortable bedsinstant coffee
The room was warm. I could see a quiet street from it.
The beds were not comfortable, i woke up with a backache. also, they only left sachets of tea and instant coffee. I prefer proper coffee. the location was okay, but a bit far from the castle.

spacious roombreakfast service
The building has a beautiful appearance! The room was also spacious.
I have mobility issues. The absence of breakfast service was also disappointing. There are local options, but it would have been more convenient to have it available on-site. Overall these things put a damper on my stay.
