Reasonable value. Well located. Cafe and restaurant on site. Vintage but good wooden furniture. Creaking wooden floors. Without a car we needed access to public transport but receptionist unable to advise. We found the best bus stop on day of 4. Other reception staff were giving out bus timetables. Make sure you ask for a map. City centre is an easy 10 to 15 minutes but not easy without a map. Handy cafe and bar on site good for breakfast and simple evening meals. Also more expensive restaurant.. Bus services good when you have mastered the timetables. Day tickets good value. This is a university lodging selling itself as a hotel The reception staff should be more professional.

Architektur und Einrichtung original, jedoch zum Teil in die Jahre gekommen. Ruhige Lage, etwas abseits vom Zentrum.
