I didn't like the room or layout. Toilet/shower separated from beds by a curtain. Road outside was level with bottom of window. Lights operated as they liked. Sorry not for me. I walk with a stick and could not find a disabled person's entrance.

Air con and heating great, the room was very clean, staff were very helpful, check in early request was done with no issues and even given an upgrade.
Breakfast was as expected would have liked a choice of eggs. Room was clean but would have liked tea making facilities. Tv could have done with a menu to say what was on. But enjoyed our stay and staff were very excellent.

Room was good , however I was in the middle of the corridor at the corner to the next corridor so it was quite noisy. No coffee or water in your room, this was available at reception but I was on the 5th floor so a bit of a trek. The coffee and the cooked breakfast was pretty poor and wouldn’t book it next time.
Great stay , near attractions and Christmas market .

The only 2 downsides for us was no tea and coffee making facilities in the room, also we were room 526, near the lift, which kept on announcing "doors opening! " " doors closing!" thought the night!
