I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room had a stunning view of the castle and featured a cozy king-size four-poster bed, although the wardrobe in the bathroom was quite small. The service was top-notch, including housekeeping and a lovely welcome drink. The location, right in the center of town opposite the square, was perfect for exploring. The dining experience, with sausages being undercooked, was a bit disappointing, but the tasty ingredients made up for it. Overall, a great value for money with plenty of charm!
