Positiv: Atmospheric old hotel, modernised and clean. Central location and close to railway stations. Staff are friendly and efficient. Negativ: Hotel does not accept Amex, although I was able to book using it. I'm not happy about this and will not use the hotel again because of it. No lift - a broad spiral staircase is the only access to upper floors, so only limited suitability for older persons with luggage. I found the mattress too hard and the bedclothes too short. Friday and Saturday nights are noisy due to a nightclub next door.
