★★★★☆

Great location near the train station. Rooms are spacious with modern bathrooms and comfortable beds. Traditional decor adds charm to the stay. Friendly staff provided early check-in without extra charge. Manager Ben ensured comfort throughout the visit. Walking distance to many city sites is convenient. Breakfast served was very good as well.
