The hotel is nestled right along the river, offering a serene atmosphere, but the room size was a bit smaller than expected. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff always ready to assist. Despite its peaceful location, it's a bit farther from the city center. The dining experience featuring delectable cured meats was a highlight. However, the lack of certain facilities was noticeable, detracting from the overall experience.

The hotel is ideally situated right on the river and close to the city center, offering a convenient and picturesque location. The rooms are comfortable, but the smaller bedroom with a balcony was a bit cramped. The service was excellent, however, the lack of room service was a downside. The dining experience was delightful with homemade preserves, but the onsite facilities were limited. Overall, it's a solid choice for those seeking a great riverside setting with friendly service.
