Perfect City Respite
pedestrianized zonedecorated roomssignature element
It was a much needed rest between destinations. The location is perfectly in the center of a pedestrianized zone. It's also set back in its own little world through an arcade, within two interconnected buildings. The hotel contains uniquely decorated rooms with amenities.
My room was clean. the coffee machine had been missed, as it still had pods in it from the previous stay.

Breakfast in the room is available at a reasonable price, a perfect way to enjoy the relaxing rooms. I had the world's best sausage and bacon sandwich in my bathrobe, while reading a book from the free library at reception!!!

the reception staff were helpful and cute. catering staff started each day off perfectly with their loveliness. the location proved ideal, with the castle and museum nearby. my room was quiet despite being right in the city centre, and it was quite comfortable with a good sized bed.
i noticed a slight issue, the reader for the room key card fell out of the wall once. it knocked the lights off, but i pushed it back in and it worked fine.
