The hotel was in a great area and close to the castle. The biggest drawback was that not all the rooms have A/C, and the rooms are very warm during the summer. They put a fan in the room, but you can't even open the windows to allow in fresh air. They don't mention at check-in that you are getting a non-A/C room.
