    Clean and comfortable, and very tasty breakfasts. Nice view from the attic room where I stayed, and a convenient set-up, with a mini-fridge and well-stocked tea/coffee selection. Convenient location as well.

    Breakfast was very good. The room was very small but that's what we expect in an old building in an old town.

    It is walking distance from the city center and the train station. Although it is an old building, the inn has a welcoming vibe. The staff were nice and friendly and there’s free breakfast during the stay.
