Fantastic location as a base for strolling this stunning town. Street after street of 16thC timber-frame buildings! Follow the brass pavement knights for an amazing walking tour! Great hotel, dozens of restaurants nearby. Comfortable room, luxurious shower room, excellent controllable air con - nice cool on scorching day, and we could heat it up when cold at night, and turn it off - no droning! Second floor room had interesting street view, bustling crowds and live music in the nearby square on a hot August night, but good sound insulation with windows closed. Stylish hotel with horse theme, very good breakfast, nice helpful staff. I was disappointed the parking was full, but they helpfully advised the cathedral parking is only 150m away, and it was very reasonable (11 euro for about 20 hours), underground & secure.

Likewise there was no advance information about the car park which might only be a two minute walk away but is a nightmare sat-nav experience to find in a car. Accessing the car park then requires further guidance as does finding the walking route back to the hotel. In addition the so-called accessible bathroom in our room was anything but - it was spacious but there were very few safety rails. Two motor-cyclists who arrived at the same time were equally annoyed with the lack of information about unloading and finding a secure car park so well concealed in the locality. I felt sorry for a very helpful receptionist trying to defend the...
