Fantastic stay!

perfect locationshort walkhistorical churchamazing space
The hotel location was perfect. It was just opposite the museum gardens. A car park was only a short walk away, about two minutes. I stayed in a suite with views of a local historical church. The room felt quirky, large, and pretty. The space was amazing.
I found a very small detail, a slight negative aspect was the temperature in the bathroom. I wasn't able to turn the radiator off.
Rooms

The suite featured Viking-style furniture. It added to the room's charm! A fully stocked minibar was available, including a bottom shelf for personal use. The bed was large. I could get a good night's rest.

The hotel has parking spaces located a short distance from the main building, less than five minutes. Blue badge parking spaces are conveniently situated just outside the main car park. That helped a lot. I found it very convenient.
Service

The staff was very friendly. They provided helpful directions and recommendations when asked. Breakfast was optional. It suited my needs perfectly. The hotel was like a haven of peace right in the city centre!
