The room decoration is amazing. I appreciated the early check-in. That was a very nice detail about my stay. The location is excellent! The staff is communicative and helpful.
The room was not cleaned . The windows were blocked, so I could not change the air. The need was felt, as there were three people in the room!

Solid Stay Near the Center

ample spacecomfortable bedaccurate instructioncoffee assortment
Location worked great for my visit. The room had ample space. It was more than enough for my needs. The bed was clean and super comfortable. I had chocolates plus an assortment of coffee. I was contacted to make sure I arrived with ease. I found accurate instructions to access the hotel.
The shower flooded the bathroom floor. This happened as soon as I started showering. I had to take short showers.
Location

The location is near the city center. It is about a 15-20 minute walk to the Castle. An Uber costs about £4-£8. The access to the Airport is easy.
