Nice property but over priced. Room was too small, I could not place a chair between the bed and the desk.alao, the room location involved taking the stairs to get to another elevator. In addition, the staff manually entered my credit card information in the system as a security deposit for mini bar usage. I wouldn't stay there again.

The hotel itself is very nice. My room felt small but was perfectly fine. The hotel makes use of the existing architecture and retains some original features. The location is excellent and feel very safe.

Fantastic price for good-size rooms and extremely-walkable distances to interesting old town landmarks. We barely had to use any public transit to get around it was so well-located, so it was extremely convenient and a great value for an interesting old building!

Excellent staff and location
Breakfast was excellent, as was the desk help. Might need a little refreshing, as the bed creaked with every move, and the carpet looked as it’s seen some wear. But overall, thriller with my stay.

Not so good stay this time.
No access to bed from sides and had to crawl in from bottom, tiny shower and very little room to move, shower seal worn and flooded floor, no sachets of coffee anymore, tiny tv with 3 stations not worth watching, breakfast average. Won’t use this hotel again.

Good location, close to old town. We were a group of friends, booked 5 rooms. Some rooms are very small, in two of them the fridge was not working. No cleaning or change if towels or removal of garbage during our stay. It seems that you need to ask for the service. We found dirt and garbage (empty bottle) under the bed from previous tourists. Breakfast was buffet, good variation but same products every day. It is ok for a short stay but not for longer.

Everything excellent except the room stank of fresh cigarette smoke the entire time, I stayed 4 nights and it was as if someone was smoking in the room while I was out. Nearby hostels had young people constantly who screamed into the nights. Tub had a leak somewhere at the bottom and flooded the floor constantly. Breakfast buffet was excellent. Overall atmosphere is okay. Location is good.

Overall I like raw hotel a lot , it’s nice and in a convenient location. The big disappointment was the Wi-Fi not working in the new part of the building , no one fixed this or seemed to care that much even though the room stated Wi-Fi included. It was a shame there was no bacon over the 3 days for breakfast.
