Charmed by the location!!!

castle location helpful staff good breakfast

The location was AMAZING. It's right next to the castle, a VERY convenient spot for sightseeing. The staff were kind, and storing our bags after checkout was super helpful, it allowed us more time to explore. The breakfast was also very good, I must say.

Unfortunately, the noise was an issue . I could hear quite a lot of noise coming from outside, and it did affect my sleep. Some disturbances from the nightlife were VERY disruptive.

comfortable bed coffee facilities central location loud noise low pressure few hangers

The room included a comfortable bed and tea and coffee making facilities. The staff was friendly and helpful . The hotel has a great central location near the castle.

There was noise from the pub downstairs until late at night. The shower had low water pressure, difficult to use. I found few hangers in the wardrobe so I couldn't hang up all my clothes.
