Bar/restaurant was closed for renovations but that was totally fine because so many awesome places to go that are walkable.
Staff was so friendly and we felt well cared for. The fireplace and communal spots were a nice way to unwind and meet others that were traveling.

Room was good but no TV. That didn’t bother us. It is an old hotel so don’t expect modern stuff. It was clean, they were nice and it is in a great location. 4/5. We were satisfied
