The bed was comfortable. The tea/coffee available in the room was good. It was very noisy because it's on a main road and the windows do nothing to reduce the noise. The building is very old so this was to be expected.

The place is falling apart. "Old and classic" should not mean "dirty and dilapidated". Bathroom stank of mold, moldy dirty windows, threadbare curtains that let the light in, and a broken heater as there is no other heating in the freezing building.

Food was lovely but when we had meal in the restaurant Saturday night we was not told until we sat down and looked at menu we could only have soft drinks as their licence had not been renewed in time. We should have been told this on arrival Rooms were horrible. Lumpy bed and pillows and very small bathroom

Excellent location, for the city and train station. The hotel was comfortable with good food. Parking was a little tight. The stairs inside the hotel are a little narrow if you are less able (understandable in such an old building)
