Reviews and Ratings
I adored the hotel's charming location right next to the cathedral, but the rooms were a bit dusty from recent building work. The staff was incredibly helpful and kind, making up for any minor inconveniences. While the dining experience was only average, the hotel's unbeatable proximity to the city center made it a superb choice.
The hotel had striking decor, a good mix of historic with modern amenities, and a wonderful view over the city to the hills beyond. The service quality varied from demanding immediate payment to being very helpful and pleasant. The location was ideal for exploring the old town with some steps involved. The dining experience offered a mix of delectable options but was sometimes lacking in responsiveness. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives makes for an interesting stay.
I absolutely loved my stay at this charming hotel! The rooms were cozy and had very comfortable sofas, and my small balcony on the 4th floor was a lovely bonus for enjoying some fresh air without relying on air con. While the rooms are on the smaller side, it was exactly what I expected for this type of facility in Europe. The service was top-notch with friendly and helpful staff who went out of their way to provide advice on local train connections and restaurants. The location couldn't have been better, perfect for walking tours in the historic part of the city and just a short walk to the newer area. The dining experience was delightful, especially the breakfast spread which made me feel ready to conquer the day. I found the hotel facilities to be just what I needed for a comfortable stay.
I have to say this hotel was a hidden gem! The room was an absolute dream with its modern amenities like the smart TV, Dolce Gusto machine, and even a jacuzzi bath. The views from my large, well-equipped room were breathtaking, making my stay truly memorable. However, the constant reminder of payment upon check-in did put a slight damper on things.
This hotel is in the most perfect location, with steps away from the Cathedral. The rooms had a few issues like uncontrollable shower fallout, low wc privacy, trailing TV wires, and a coffee machine that had to be set up on the floor. The noise from builders' work, which will continue for another 18-24 months, was noticeable. However, the price was fair for the quality provided.
Staying at the hotel for two nights was lovely. The rooms had a very comfortable bed and a cute little terrace attached to the wall, offering a view of the cathedral. The service was provided by amazing caring people, especially in this family-run hotel. The location was fantastic, close to a major Game of Thrones filming location, and having the cathedral nearby added to the European feel. The dining experience was delightful with a welcome bottle of wine and delicious Welsh pastries. The facilities were in an unusual building, nicely decorated, providing a plentiful and delicious breakfast with eggs cooked fresh.
