Charming hotel in the heart of everything
prime location charming style
The location is amazing, just a short walk from the train station and very close to major attractions. The decor has a charming style, a perfect match with the town's atmosphere. I found the staff attentive and helpful. They promptly addressed any questions i had (grateful for their kindness!). The breakfast had great choices to your liking.
My room did not lock properly. It could be opened even when locked with a shove. Apparently, this happens sometimes because of the age of the building. i believe this issue must be adressed. I hope that the hotel can resolve this soon.
