I loved this hotel. The location was spectacular on the water and right in old town. The restaurant downstairs was terrific. Great food and excellent service. Our room was kind of small as many are in Europe but it was very clean and comfortable.

It is a lovely historic property in an ideal location. Close to the train station - ten minute walk - and beautiful view from our terrace. Definitely looks and feels upscale. We felt like we were in a storybook. We enjoyed the free ice cream they offer guests throughout the day and the chocolates in our room. We had a suite.
