Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our room was on the Cathedral side. We could not see the Cathedral because of the trees, but we enjoyed them and the green meadow, the calm, and the bells when we opened the window. The location was super for walking to the historical sites, museums, restaurants, grocery store, and the train station.

The room we had was a good size and with good facilities(comfortable bed/bathroom etc) our only reservation was that some of the decor needs updating eg settee was worn and not very comfortable. However, overall the room was good value and our stay was thoroughly enjoyable

We had a lovely stay. The hotel room was ample, with furnishings catering to our needs. The view from our window over the cathedral was spectacular, and we appreciated the hotel's centrality; we could pop in and out as we needed. The price of the breakfast was a little steep; we only indulged once, but would have liked to more: there was a good range of healthy options available. I was really sorry to leave this excellent accommodation at the end of our holiday.

It was ok but could have been better.

The first room was in poor condition. They moved us.The 2nd was better. However the mattress did not go all the way to the headboard and couldn't be moved. The gap meant the extremely soft pillows slipped into the gap. So no pillow or move down the bed and hang your feet over the edge.
