Cute stay near the river

kind staffwarm greetingclean roomsafe space
The member of staff was very kind. He helped us quickly change after our late train arrival. The staff member sorted our bags and greeted us warmly upon our return. We enjoyed dinner and drinks before heading to our clean room, a safe space.
The stairs were very steep for an older woman like me. I had to hold the railings carefully going up and down. It was a bit difficult to open the door at the bottom of the stairs, while standing on a stair.
