I liked staying in a interesting building almost adjacent to the Cathedral. My only complaint would be that bath towels were decidedly skimpy.

Perfect hotel and location for visiting the city. Riverside, bars, restaurants, shops, castle and cathedral all within walking distance. It was my husband's birthday and a card was left for him in our room which was thoughtful. A great selection at breakfast. Lots of cosy seating areas around the hotel to sit and recharge. Thanks 😊
