“This hotel certainly stands out for its prime riverside location within a UNESCO World Heritage site, providing guests with stunning views. While the building has architectural character, I noted that some past visitors found the service less polished than expected for a hotel of this caliber, particularly at breakfast and check-in. Still, the on-site restaurant and welcome amenities add appeal.”
