Wonderful Experience

helpful staffcomfortable roomtea station
The staff were very cute and helpful (i especially want to say thank you to the reception). The room was comfortable and also well-decorated. I found a very nice tea and coffee station. I would definitely stay here again.
The floor in the bedroom was a bit creaky, this can be fair for a historic hotel.

The location was excellent and staff are helpful.
I found many issues. The floorboards were very squeaky in my room. the room was too warm, even with the window open. The decor is old and needs some updating, especially the shower, it looks rusty.

I was so glad for the central location. It was near the train station and city attractions. The staff was nice and helpful. The room had a cozy bed, very comfy. I got a good night's sleep after my long day of exploring.
The shower could have use a little more shelf space, but it was not a big issue.

My room's location to the station was indeed fantastic. The staff was lovely, and the room felt very spacious. I found the restaurant divine.
The hot water required running the shower for quite some time to become available. The hotel seems a bit tired and could benefit from an update. The breakfast, I must admit , was mediocre.
