Room overall very good. Slight issues with the room. Shower door leaked which resulted in a wet bathroom floor. One of the plug sockets at the desk didn’t work. Nice touches having a blackout blind on windows and mulled wine in reception

This hotel is just a Home Run! Great decor, modern but warm; great location, just take the staircase out the back courtyard to the Old Town. Excellent breakfast in a lovely setting. Staff are fabulous - helpful in every request. Nicolas even phoned our cruise line to find out the exact docking location, which had changed since our previous notification. You will love this hotel.
