Lovely centrally located traditionally built hotel. Rooms have everything you need - we only stayed one night on a stop over to Austria. Really helpful and welcoming staff - we arrived early to ask to leave our bags but were advised our room was ready so we were able to use it straightaway. Breakfast was a wider range than I was expecting which was a pleasant surprise and delicious too. I would recommend this hotel and it’s only about 10mins from main railway station.
