Acceptable, but Had a Few Issues

quiet locationstuffy roomslow coffee machine
The location was fairly quiet and suited my needs.
The room I stayed in was very stuffy. Even with the windows open, it remained uncomfortably warm, and the fan did not help much. The breakfast coffee machine took ages to produce a single espresso.

Excellent Stay

The hotel displayed historical details on the walls. It created a unique atmosphere. I found the room spacious and well-equipped, with fantastic towels. The hotel's central location overlooked the church, it offered a nice view. The on-site function room and restaurant added convenience.
I experienced some noise from the bar area, it carried upstairs.
