Our room was lovely if not a little noisy from the public outside as our room was located at the front. The noisy however did strip around midnight. The amenities at the hotel were great and the staff were very helpful, attentive and always smiling. It was our anniversary and they organised a balloon, bottle of sparkling wine and a Belgium waffle in our room on arrival. The honestly bar was a relaxing space. We would definitely visit again

This hotel was SO COOL! We splurged for the one room with the private balcony overlooking the church and square. What a unique experience! The staff was so friendly and made us feel so welcome. They even helped us find dinner reservations for a restaurant that was fully booked. It felt like VIP treatment, and I got the impression they treated everyone that way. Excellent service! We really liked the bar there as well. It was beautiful and the drinks were excellent.

Great location and a great vibe consistent with the historic town setting. Hotel has a first class bar and breakfast was very good. It is a unique hotel with the shower and bathroom sink built in a loft above the main bedroom with the toilet area on the first floor.
