convenient location with river view

friendly staffconvenient locationuseful fridgesmall shower
The reception staff was friendly. the location next to the river was very convenient, and the view was pretty. the room had a kettle. I found the fridge useful during the warmer days.
The shower was small, and it made moving around a bit difficult during showering. That was my main concern.

FANTASTIC location and friendly staff!

perfect locationhelpful staffamazing viewhallway noises
The location was perfect. It was close to everything I wanted to see! The reception super nice team. They gave me great recommendations for local spots. My room faced the river offering an amazing view.
The room was on the smaller side. It could use a bit more soundproofing, as I could hear hallway noises. But overall, it was still a good experience.
