“The position is undeniably its strongest suit, placing you right at the heart of the action with the cathedral a short walk away. Rooms feel comfortable and well-appointed, though the parking situation can be a point of consideration for drivers. Still, the overall atmosphere and attentive staff make it a solid choice for exploring the city.”
