“My stay was marked by the genuine attentiveness of the staff, who consistently went the extra mile, even accommodating a late vegan meal request. The rooms, particularly those with a river view, provided a comfortable and clean base with a pleasant outlook, and the beds were exceptionally comfortable. It strikes a welcome balance, feeling neither budget nor overly fancy, offering a solid experience for those seeking value in a prime location.”
