thin wallslimited toiletries

I found a couple of issues . the walls seemed very thin, i could hear conversations next door, , made it difficult to relax. also, the limited toiletries in the bathroom were a bit disappointing. I expected more than just basic supplies. it would have been nice to have a wider range of products available without having to ask.

I found a supermarket just around the corner, very convenient. Breakfast included cheese, meats, and local foods, and I really liked it. The room was warm. That was very nice. Staff provided helpful information about the local area, and I appreciated that.

The water pressure in the shower was low on some occasions, a little bit annoying.

Parking was next to the hotel, very easy and very useful. The hotel is halfway between the castle and main square. A short walk of about 10 minutes gets you to both, and it is in a quiet location. It was great to have this.

Dining

The breakfast buffet had a great selection of foods. It offered cheese, meats, fruit, yogurts, and breads. That met my expectations. I could get a packed lunch when I went on a trip. I appreciated that very much.
