Brynna United States of America

I was really nicely welcomed by the staff. I had the option to choose between different rooms. I chose the room with the view of the peaks of the cathedral. Really nice! There was also a balcony. The shower was nice and hot. The rooms waren't cold. Extra heavy cosy blanket was supplied. Slept like a baby.
