Loved by guests
"Beautifully refurbished 14th century building (UNESCO heritage!), this hotel is right on the Old Market Place adjacent to the superb Tyn Cathedral."
"The building is from the 1300's but the interior is new - they even have added an elevator!"
"I had dinner in the hotel restaurant and it was decent, washed down with the local beer."
