Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praise the hotel's central location, making it ideal for exploring the city and visiting the cathedral. Many appreciate the historic atmosphere and unique character of the building. However, several reviews mention significant noise issues, particularly from the street and nearby venues, which can impact relaxation. Service receives mixed feedback, with some guests finding staff friendly and helpful, while others report issues with aftercare and lack of reception. Cleanliness and bathroom facilities are also noted as areas needing improvement, with reports of maintenance problems, lack of hot water, and small or outdated bathrooms. Overall, the location and charm are highlights, but noise and facility issues detract from the experience.
