Acceptable, but Had a Few Issues

stuffy room slow 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

historical hotel spacious room central location convenient restaurant

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.

bar noise moldy sealant

i had some trouble with the room. there was a lot of noise from the bar area, especially late at night. it made it difficult to sleep because i could hear doors banging and staff talking. i also noticed the sealant around the bath looked moldy. some of the towels had tatty edges as well.
