Couples and short-break visitors who want to step straight into the medieval town will like this hotel. Guests say it sits just outside the castle walls, near the main gate and restaurants.
Drivers benefit too, as free parking is listed, which is useful in a small walled town. There is also an outdoor pool, a garden and a terrace.
Skip it if bed comfort is your top priority. Some guests find the beds comfortable, but others report stiff mattresses and creaking frames.
