It is the only hotel within the walls of the fortified town. Friendly, efficient staff, helpfully changed my room when l did not like the one first assigned to me. I found both balcony rooms quite gloomy. The light comes in through the balcony which is in most cases enclosed by thick wooden lattice shutters. These can be partially opened. In summer the shutters are presumably a welcome source of shade. But they do make the rooms gloomy. Some rooms have an open view over the fortress walls to the country beyond, others a more confined view of the houses and roofs opposite. The bedroom l was first offered was quite spacious, the one l chose less gloomy and with a better view but felt a bit cramped with big furniture. Rooms without balconies might be brighter. Bedside lamps good enough for reading, but not the other lighting. Only some rooms have a fridge. No room safe. Kettle in room. Teabags and bottled water provided on arrival, the former sometimes replenished. Wifi often weak in bedroom (two bars out of three), weaker on balcony; but almost no actual loss of connexion. Heating took the edge off the evening chill but did not get the room warm (temperature could not be adjusted). No electric socket by the bed. Curtains did not keep out daylight. The hotel has various different common sitting areas both inside and outside that are pleasant and where l spent much of my time. Breakfast is a reasonable standard buffet.
