If you want expansive views of the castle and river, book a room on one of the upper floors of this modern hotel. If it's summer, ask for a balcony or one of the four rooms with large terraces. 
 "Well off the beaten path, this friendly hotel has clean but slightly dated rooms with stunning views, and the price-to-value ratio here is excellent." Full review
