Historical Charm and Comfort

central locationsecure parkingsound insulation
I appreciated the hotel's central location within the town walls near the market square. The secure parking provided peace of mind, and the restaurant offered great meals. I found the staff very friendly. The hotel provided a golf buggy to transport luggage to parking from the hotel and back.
I noticed that the room lacked sound insulation. Hallway noises and conversations were easily heard. This made the room less private. The bed wasn't very comfortable and made it difficult to fall asleep at night.
Facilities
9/10
The hotel has secure parking a few blocks away with staff managing car transport. A golf buggy helps move luggage. The restaurant offers meal service in a cozy setting.
Rooms
8/10
My room included a basic setup and the bathroom was adequately sized and well-lit. The room also had a good view of the town. Cleanliness was amazing.
Service
9/10
Hotel staff provided assistance with parking, even though it was located away from the premises. Check-in was handled efficiently by the receptionist. The waiters at the restaurant are really helpful.

the hotel had a good breakfast with various choices. it came included with the room. the location is right at the center near everything i wanted to see. it looks like a real medieval inn.
i booked for the hotel. i was put in a room in the annex hotel. it definitely was not a 4-stars room. i feel it wasn't worth the money and no facilities exist in this place.
