“The hotel's location in the old town places guests steps away from the Abbey, while some rooms, particularly in the Dependence building, offer both space and charm. Breakfast requires a reservation due to limited space, and some rooms can feel expensive relative to their amenities. Overall, it's a strategically situated base with some inconsistencies.”
