What people say

The hotel is in an excellent position, and is very tastefully decorated ( except fot the absolutely hidious standard lamp in the bedroom!! ) The choice of cold foods at breakfast was very good but the scrambled eggs looked rather sad. Dishes prepared to order, for example boiled eggs or bacon and eggs, would have been an improvement. A sitting area for guests would be appreciated. excellent location to old city, unique feel to hotel.
