traffic noise sub par breakfast
The room felt a bit bare for the price i paid. also, i found the traffic noise quite disruptive since my room faced a busy road. It was hard to get a good night's sleep. i suggest investing in better soundproofing for rooms near the street, it needs it.

good route lovely countryside comfortable room
The staff was kind and helpful. I got a good route for a gentle walk. The location is close to both the city center and lovely countryside. The immaculate room was comfortable. The roof terrace was a bonus.
There was a lot of stairs to get to my room. It may be worth mentioning if you have any disabilities so you can be placed in a room on the lower levels.

great theme clean room lovely views
the hotel has amazing theme, but not too much. it was so clean and really comfy. tea and coffee in the dining room are very handy and i liked the change from having it only in the room. the rooftop terrace has lovely rooftop views.
the room had poor soundproofing. i could hear everything from the hallway including tv and talking. i recommend taking earplugs.
