The absolute perfect location. A couple blocks from the train station and essentially across the street from the castle. Surrounded by restaurants and shops.
A lovely stay, bathroom looking a bit tired in places and fridge not very cold and could do with a better clean. Fantastic breakfast and really comfy sleep
