the breakfast was WONDERFUL, with a variety of options including fresh fruit. The staff were very friendly and accommodating to all my needs. My room had a lovely view of the river.

the room faced the main road , and traffic noise was quite noticeable at night. I requested a quiet room , but this was not honored, made sleeping difficult. The shower was only lukewarm , perhaps because i was among the last to use it in the morning.

the breakfast ingredients tasted locally sourced and of good quality. portions were generous and the waitress poured filter coffee at the table. the bathroom featured beautiful tiling and a spacious shower. the rear of the hotel looked attractively laid out, leading down to the river.

the room faced a busy main road, so noise was occasionally noticeable

I stayed in a generously fitted out bedroom, it had views of the river. A nespresso coffee machine was also available in the room. the staff were both cute and cheerful. I appreciated their help.

the room i was in felt dated and the furniture had seen better days. the shower didn't drain properly! it meant that i had to wait for the water to drain away before completing my shower. the drain cover was loose and floated around in the shower tray!

The breakfast offered a great variety. I particularly enjoyed the fresh berries. the communication at the reception was helpful, and staff addressed my questions promptly. the big bathroom included a walk in shower, which i found quite convenient.

my room faced the main road and i experienced significant road noise all night. the heavy traffic made it difficult to sleep. the path to the annex where my room was, was uneven. this posed a slight risk given my hip problems.
