The location is excellent, directly in the old town area. It’s close to everything on foot or by tram. The hotel room was ok. It was spacious and clean. Two issues I found: the mattress dipped in the middle and it smelled dusty, which aggravated my allergies. The rooftop restaurant had great views, excellent service and delicious food.

The ambience is from a time gone by, a time when charm & grace were highly valued. A delightful change from chrome. I would live to come back when I could stay longer. I do have one thought. I originally chose here because of the elevator; I have heavy luggage because I will be working in Europe for quite awhile. Unfortunately a person must lug their luggage up 12 steps to get to the elevator.

Not quiet- there's activity until 1 am every night. It would have been nice to know that the floors are not level but slope down in this old building. The left side of my bed was 5-10 degrees higher than the right. I would slide down if i wasn't situated correctly.

This is a wonderful, beautiful, historic building. As a result. It is old even though updated. My room was beautiful, but the floor was very crooked! Getting to my bed was like walking up a hill. Also, there was not an elevator, so be prepared to go up some stairs (help with my luggage was offered!). Even so, i loved the vibe and the hotel was great!

Location good, breakfast good selection. Our room was poor, it was a Standard room but the windows were opaque because they opened out under the external stairway to the top floor restaurant. As a consequence, we could hear every conversation of guests leaving the restaurant until the restaurant closed. Disappointing.

I stayed four nights. Had dinner one night in the rooftop restaurant. The hotel was very affordable. While there is an elevator, there are about 8 steps to reception and also down to the breakfast room. So I would not call this property accessible. I made a rookie mistake and gave the front desk a bag of laundry - maybe half a load in a US washer. $80! I found this to be outrageous. My fault for not checking. Lev at the front desk is very nice and helpful. I was still recovering from laundry sticker shock and forgot to tip him as I left. The cathedral is right by the hotel which is why I selected it. Lots of restaurants about but not many shops. There is a rimi express mini mart close by

Beware when booking! Two sections to hotel the “Old section” and the Classic part. We were in room 309, we were told this is the old section. Floor is on a 5 to 10 degree slope. You sleep on an angle! Very little light including only a small window for natural light and fresh air. Weak internet in the room. The ended up putting a Modem in our room. No air-conditioning No frig Safe not bolted down.

The room itself was charming, I liked it a lot. There was no AC, but it was cool enough w the window open. WiFi was not the best in the room itself, but it sufficed. The bathroom smelled horribly like mildew, and the towels were super thin. Otherwise, I would say it was a good stay.

Charming and traditional

This is more of your traditional hotel with characterful rooms and a more personable service. The décor is a bit dated and the building is a bit wonky but that adds to the charm.
