Wonderfully quirky charm that places you back in history. Very welcoming and helpful staff.

8/10 Very good

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location. Rooms are nice and clean. Breakfast was good. Very quirky old building - all floors slope in a different direction which is rather characterful but walls between rooms are very thin. Would be happy to stay again.

A fantastic location with a large very clean bedroom. The bathroom was small but good with an enthusiastic shower. Normal coffee and tea making facility. My only complaint was the bed was rather small for two people. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Is definitely stay here again.

Proximity to the center and next to the beautiful Cathedral are primary reasons for choosing this hotel - our room was painfully small with a toilet right outside for the use of two other rooms which was a bit uncomfortable in such tight quarters. Continental breakfast was plentiful and some good choices. Overall a nice stay.

Lovely property, fantastic service. As it’s an old property the noise between floors can be loud at times but that adds to the charm too

The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The labyrinth of stairs, roves, and corridors were fun. Staff were amicable and informative, breakfasts were good, varied, and flexible. The location was outstanding. I’m looking forward to our next stay there.
