charming stay with chapel bridge view

chapel bridge viewcomplimentary voucherscentral locationhelpful staff
i was upgraded to a room offering a view of the chapel bridge, a lovely surprise. the breakfast vouchers were a nice perk, encouraging us to dine in. the hotel's central location made exploring very convenient. the staff were friendly and helpful .
The cobblestone street access at the rear was a bit challenging with wheeled luggage. It wasn't the most practical entrance.

great locationwall viewdistant parking
The location was pretty decent. It was about a 10-minute walk from the train station, and the Chapel Bridge was right there.
I booked a room expecting a view, but it faced a wall and a small fountain , made it IMPOSSIBLE to sleep. The water just kept flowing and flowing all night. I think guests should get a warning about that nonsense. The parking lot was also far from the hotel, and the breakfast was not very tasty either.

Acceptable stay with some drawbacks

smoking staffsmall room
The room I booked, a Double room city side, felt quite small. I was on the first floor and the staff often took breaks right outside the window. They smoked and talked loudly. It was difficult to keep the window open, especially since I have asthma.
