Lovely stay and will return
Pros:

Wonderful stay at a stylish little Hotel that is well positioned and walking distance to restaurants, the old part of town and the fountain - it's a win! Friendly staff and delicious breakfast and well appointed bedrooms. Great to have an elevator!

Cons:

Although there is a starter pack for the coffee machine, a kettle would have been welcome for fresh water for a cup of tea.

Great location and value for money.
Pros:

The room was excellent. Spacious and quiet.

Cons:

Some of the interior could do with an update and the gym / fitness facilities are basic. However, I could do morning runs along the lake or river, which was great.
