Wonderful hotel with comfortable beds and an excellent breakfast and bar. We loved the streets nearby with outdoor dining options. Still close to the old town and tourist hot spots - but outside proper tourist area.

Room was spacious and clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. My only remark is the bar areas are often taken over for local art and literature gatherings so getting a drink at the bar is almost impossible. We went during the week, too.
