Estuvimos muy cómodos.

Está muy bien ubicado.
Debimos tener suerte porque nos dieron una habitación muy grande con una cama de dos metros y un buen colchón.
Estaba limpio y el personal fue amable.
Desayuno a la carta, con un pequeño bufé añadido con algo de fruta, cereales, yogur y algún dulce.

Nada en particular

Pros:

Great location, parking provided and friendly staff.

Cons:

Building is understandably old and therefore the floor boards creak making it difficult to sleep. Very easy to hear the people on the floor above you walking around also. The ventilation in the bathroom was poor also meaning it stayed wet for a long time.

Great location, wasn’t able to try breakfast, wish the water temperature was fixed.
Pros:

The location was great for seeing downtown by walking or driving

Cons:

The water temperature was impossible to get set from scalding or ice cold. There wasn’t much sound proofing of the room either so any shouting on the street (not even beneath from the pub) was very loud in the room.

Pros:

Petit hôtel très bien placé MAIS Certaines Rénovations à prévoir en URGENCE ! Fermeture de fenêtre complètement cassé donc elle ne se ferme pas en totalité (bruit froid ). Du coup le prix de chambre cher pour la prestation ! Dommage car personnel sympa, petit déjeuner et dîner pris au pub au dessous de très bonne qualité . bonne ambiance.

Cons:

Précisé si dessus.
