Historical Charm and Great Location

gunport windowsfloor heatinggreat pillowsmouldy caulk
The building is amazing and filled with history. My room on the top floor had three gunport windows adding a nice twist. Floor heating in the bathroom was a blessing in winter. Pillows were also great.
It seemed as though the house was not renovated recently. The card reader at the room door was not working great. Both of our cards stopped working even though we kept them away from our phones. The caulk in the shower looked a bit black and mouldy.
Dining
9/10
There was currently no restaurant. The staff sent a list of nearby recommendations and descriptions for eating places. This was very useful as I did not know the city at all.
Service
10/10
The staff is amazing and really helpful. The staff organized everything quickly, it was great! The location is perfect for exploring the city. Automated reception worked seamlessly.

The hotel has a nice garden for relaxation. I could open a window in my quiet room. The location is basically in the city center near the park.
The cocktail selection at the bar was not available when I wanted it.
