We had a very nice stay at this hotel. The staff at reception were really helpful and made us very welcome (we especially loved Bartosz). Comfortable room and clean. There is a nice rooftop bar\restaurant which has lovely views of the castle and river. The breakfast buffet selection was a bit small but very well maintained by the staff. Hotel is well located - close to the castle and about 10 minute walk to the main square. Would stay again on next visit.
