10/10 Excellent
"This was the second place we stayed on our trip and it didn't disappoint. Definitely a more historic location but with all the essential amenities. Within walking distance of historic sites and food, as well as the train station. The breakfast in the morning has a massive selection. Would definitely stay here again."
