My stay at the hotel was delightful overall. The room had a nice view of the castle from the 2nd floor, which added charm to my experience, but sadly, the quality was lacking. The service was warm, very helpful, and efficient, making me feel welcomed and assisted throughout my stay. The location was fantastic, with easy access to the castle and plenty of restaurants nearby. The dining experience was enjoyable, although some items were occasionally missing. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with a couple of minor drawbacks.

For the price paid, £268 B&B for one night, the rooms were a reasonable size for the four of us, very clean, with large and very comfy beds. We slept very well as there was no noise from outside. Despite not feeling like a four-star due to a badly worn chair in the room, the stay was pleasant overall. Room service was disappointing with terrible food quality, prompting me to skip the meal. If it were for more than one night, I might have considered leaving.

The hotel was great for breakfast but had noisy, small rooms with an odd design due to the service elevator, making it smell like a garage with exhaust.

The hotel's rooms were spacious for a family of four with two double beds, but they felt a bit tired and in need of refurbishment. Despite our requests, the room wasn't cleaned on one of our days, which was disappointing. The service, on the other hand, was exceptional, with friendly staff advising us on places to visit and offering a lovely and plentiful breakfast. The location just below the castle was great, providing beautiful views, though it was a bit of a walk uphill to the city center. The dining experience was very nice, with a variety of breakfast options, and the facilities were convenient for our stay.

The hotel offers a cracking view of the Castle but the dreary musty grey rooms with 'yellow glow' lighting can feel cold and take time to warm up. Despite being mainly clean, finding an open packet of gherkins in the fridge was a bit off-putting.
