Perfect for just a place to sleep

Very sweet little room we had to twins. Storage is good 2 wardrobes to share stuff. All very clean and beds were comfy. Check I in very easy they just give you a code for keys. Bathroom was clean however it was very small and no shower curtain or door so the floor got very wet and had to use our hand towels to mop it up leaving us with no fresh hand towels

Older Hotel with character

Location was good, about a half mile walk to the Cathedral. Rooms are simple, but comfortable. No elevator so you will have to walk up 1-4 flights of stairs. Breakfast was included with a selection of breads, cheese and cold meats. Free parking was a public lot half a mile away and was only free during the night. Staff during the day was friendly and helpful. No staff onsite after dark, but you are given a key to a side entrance. Street side can be a little noisy at night.

Its an okay hotel

Hotel is generaly good but the heater is not sufficient enough to heat the room and the bathroom. Hotel by the way has no lift, good for excercise. Location is very good and staff are friendly.

Well priced centrally located hotel

Nice hotel with friendly helpful staff. Only downside, if it is a downside is front door is closed at 7PM and there are no staff there until next morning. You are given a key to a side door but not sure what would happen if there was an emergency.

Very close to city - convenient!

They do not have double beds, so don't expect it! But the single beds were clean and tidy. Breakfast was excellent. There is NO FREE PARKING - but it is available at only 6 Euro for 24 hours, which is good.
