The staff was friendly and helpful. That was acceptable.
I was assigned a room smaller than advertised. It barely had space for my luggage. The bathroom floor flooded after each shower. This made it very inconvenient. the minibar was stocked with overpriced items.

really good stay with prime location

great locationwide selectionbeautiful lobby
the location was great, placing me right by the river, an ideal spot to explore the city center on foot. the breakfast buffet featured a wide selection of items. i particularly enjoyed the cheeses, breads, and local cakes. the lobby was beautiful and gave a great first impression.
my room had only one window, and it faced the back of another building, which limited the view and natural light.

the hotel has a complex internal layout, and a layout plan would be helpful upon arrival for easier navigation, as it is a historic stone built building. there is a terrace with river views, a wonderful spot to unwind.
