"Charming, ancient, quirky and perfectly located."

9.0

It is perfectly situated next to the main gate to the cathedral itself. Being a conglomeration of Medieval houses it is quirky inside but charmingly so. It was very quiet and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful.

The only caveat I have is that because it is in the centre of town which is predominantly pedestrian ionised. It is a bit of a challenge to drive to their front door to unload. However, it is not so much a problem as to affect your stay. You just have to be aware.

"Great location"

7.0

Location is excellent and some rooms face the cathedral or the main square. Breakfast is great and personnel is really kind. The rooms are clean.

The rooms are quite old and may need some renovation, especially the toilets although this may be challenging since the hotel seems to be in an historic building

De locatie en het personeel zijn helemaal top. Ook het hotel is erg leuk met allemaal gangetjes.

Wij vonden de bedden wat klein (ik ben 195 cm)
