cramped breakfast area non-adjustable heating
The breakfast area was cramped. It was hard to find a seat, I even had to wait for someone to leave. My room had a non-adjustable heating system, it reminded me of a sauna. I could not turn it down. The temperature made it hard to sleep.

Charming Stay near the Cathedral

unbeatable location spacious room friendly staff
The location is unbeatable (I mean, wow!). It's just a short walk to the main attractions. My room was spacious and clean. The staff was very friendly and always ready to help with directions and recommendations.
The street noise was noticeable in my room during the early morning. It disrupted sleep a bit.
