Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Well managed, clean and comfortable, pleasing décor, friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast selection - one of the best in this kind of hotel, pleasant restaurant location looking across the river to the castle. Food was all of excellent quality and well presented. We were blessed with a super waiter, very responsive, and presented us with a little "extra" when he learned we were there for a wedding anniversary. Good sized bedroom and en-suite, very clean with a strong shower over the bath. Mattress a tad firm for our liking, but comfortable nonetheless.
Negative: Dinner menu not extensive; we ate there two nights but if we'd stayed another we would have eaten elsewhere to get variety. Several dishes were what I call "lazy chef" - potatoes and mashed potato placed on the plate with the meat 'dumped' on top. (We did like the mashed potato!)
Summary: Really enjoyable, we would recommend the hotel and would like to return
