Delightful stay

The location within the cathedral grounds is a special feature. Lovely to wander around in the evening and easy for the restaurants. Breakfast was fabulous with a choice of cooked or a large continental menu. The room was clean and comfortable. The bed was a smallish double and the shower was adequate but not a huge space. Overall a delightful experience.

Well its owned and on the cathedral property. Wow I did not know that. It was a unique experience and close to the main streets. It was a great place to sleep next to the cathedral. It was cool to go to breakfast and see a priest or other parishioner getting ready to start a conference or some other worthy activity, not that that was the exclusive attendance of the hotel.

The hotel staff and reception were amazing. Unfortunately, we could not say the same for the breakfast service. We had to ask twice (three times) for items we had ordered to be delivered to our table. We asked for coffee and no coffee was served. We asked for toast and no toast was provided. We asked for fruit and no fruit was provided. Until we reminded them we got the above items. We were polite and felt we were invisible. Three other tables were served before us and we arrived before them. To be fair the food and coffee was good. The room had a nice bed. The outside terrace was nice and the free entry to the Cathedral was a really nice touch. Loved the view and location.

Still highly recommended

Our second stay here en-route from a trip to France to break the long drive home. It’s a wonderful, clean, spacious stay with superb breakfast, free overnight secure parking within the Cathedral grounds and a superb view and access to the Cathedral. I dropped only one star in comfort simply because we were put in an older rear annex this time and there was no lift to the 2nd floor room and there was a street behind which had noisy youths shouting until midnight, not the fault of the hotel. Would I use it again, absolute yes however I’d try to ask for a room in the main modern building rather than get the annex.

Great Location

The hotel is in a great location and onsite parking is available if you reserve in advance. The breakfast was excellent and the room was generally comfortable although it lacked any seating other than on the bed.
