    Fantastic view of the cathedral from my room.

    The bathroom had an overly clinical feel.

    lack of pastries

    I really enjoyed my stay, especially the power shower and the cozy room with a fine view of the cathedral. Breakfast was fantastic despite a lack of pastries on the second day. I would definitely choose this place again!
