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.
