Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms were a bit small and dated, with sticky stains on the coffee table and a fridge that didn't work. Nevertheless, the room had a comfortable bed, a nice work desk, and a bathroom with both shower and bathtub. The upgrade to a double bed instead of the tiny single bed was a pleasant surprise.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The room was comfortable and had a lovely ensuite shower/bath. The location was very quiet but close to amenities, perfect for a peaceful sleep. The old building was full of charm despite the squeaky floors. However, the two single beds pushed together kept separating, which was a bit inconvenient.
I absolutely loved my stay at this charming hotel. The location is perfect, tucked away in a quiet street yet close to all the amenities you could need. The rooms, despite being in an old building with squeaky floors, were full of charm and had a beautiful shower. The breakfast was delicious, but I have to admit the dust and spider nets in the room were a bit of a letdown.
