“I'd say this Boutique Hotel stands out for its thoughtful renovation and prime location; the separation between the rooms and lounge are a real advantage. Being a short walk from both the train station and the Cathedral is undeniably convenient. I particularly appreciate the inclusion of breakfast-friendly amenities like a fridge and coffee machine in the rooms.”
