internet was out for our 3 day stay. As a result, no one could answer the phone when trying to checkin (as no one was answering the door). Otherwise, great hotel and awesome location.

Toilet open plan next to bed
How unhygienic that a toilet be located right next to the bed with no walled area, meaning no privacy whatsoever to go to the toilet?

Good, but confusing, hotel
My partner and I stayed in the hotel while we were in town for a conference. The location was good, near the historic center, but not within the immediate tourist zone. It's a quick walk to great restaurants, good pubs, and the main places to see in town. We were greeted at check-in, and hotel staff helped us with a room issue shortly after, but from then on we were largely on our own. The room was comfortable, and was kept clean until the Sunday of our stay, when no one ever came to clean.

Tourist Trap
This hotel is very clean and the staff was available for our check in and check out but we didn’t sleep AT ALL. The bed was very hard and in a downward slope at the headboard. Pillows were extremely flat so we weren’t able to prop ourselves up to avoid the blood flowing to our heads through the night. Half way through the night we spun around and placed our feet at the headboard but still no sleep came. For $200 dollars we recommend sleeping at the Hyatt just across the bridge.
