decent breakfast choice bag moving insufficient soundproofing disturbing noise
The breakfast had a decent choice. Staff moved our bags, a gesture I found acceptable.
The lack of soundproofing was a problem. I could hear noises from other rooms, and this disrupted my sleep. The building maintenance was insufficient, noise from the floors above was very disturbing. I expected a quieter stay.

a good getaway
excellent location castle view great amenity on-site parking
the hotel's location proved advantageous for accessing the town center it was a short walk across the bridge. the river and castle views were quite picturesque and added to the charm. the pool was a great amenity to have and i enjoyed it much. i also found that adjacent parking made logistics much simpler.
i found that housekeeping created some noise in the morning they seemed unaware of guests still sleeping.
