The stone vaulted ceiling of the breakfast room, a corridor in monastery days, is beautiful, as is the view of the courtyard with its six giant plane trees.
The hotel's location within the city walls is convenient.
The first thing I noticed when I walked into my so-called "superior" room in the "new" section was the sour sewer stink (from the shower is my guess.) But I adapted to the smell after about half an hour so that it was not that unpleasant while I was in the room. It was only bothersome each time I returned to the room from the fresh air outside.
There are no drapes to block lights from the "garden"/kitchen view. The room had a patio with slat-like blinds for privacy. Unfortunately, several were missing or broken so that others could look into the room from the garden, kitchen or the elevator area.
Don't look for an extra paper napkin at breakfast, a cost-saving feature, no doubt. Nor coffee pots at the self-service urns (obviously to avoid excessive coffee consumption and/or waste.) Guests have to go back and forth balancing their cups as they wind their way past other guests and tables in the narrow breakfast room. Coffee and food items quickly ran out and were not replaced during my stay.
This hotel could be great with a change of management, one that truly cares. The hotel's deficiencies are excused away by the current management with the explanation that "we've always had these problems with the rooms and don't have the budget to fix them"and "the hotel is heavily booked and everyone comes at one time so the staff can't keep up."
