Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: business
Positive: It is a lovely old hotel located next to the train station, but kept very well. Very friendly staff, excellent internet and breakfast. One has to appreciate staying in a 500 years old building, but I liked it.
Negative: I could hear the noise from the busy road not far away.
Summary: An old and lovely hotel next to the train station
