Central, Characterful Stay

central location helpful staff useful elevator

I appreciated the hotel's central location. It was an easy walk to major attractions and restaurants. Staff gave very helpful recommendations for local eateries. The elevator was definitely a plus, considering all the steps in the building.

the shower drainage seemed insufficient. Water backed up with a rather loud noise when using the sink, toilet, or shower. I could also hear flushing from the floor above, a bit disruptive.

Facilities

9/10

The elevator provided convenient access to upper floors. The hotel's central location allowed easy exploration of nearby attractions and dining options. I found this particularly useful during my short stay.

Rooms

8/10

My room had high ceilings and a kettle with a fridge. I could easily prepare tea and coffee in the room. The room had character, unlike a generic chain hotel.

Location

10/10

The hotel has a central position. It is very close to many main tourist spots. Numerous cafes surround the square. A supermarket is also conveniently located only 150 metres away.

amazing stay!

central location helpful hosts apartment room

I really liked the central location. All the important spots were just a short walk away. the hosts were really friendly and helpful. They even gave us directions to free parking, a great option even if it needed a tram ride. the room was more like an apartment. It included two rooms and two toilets.

i noticed the bathroom lighting wasn't great, and the shower felt a bit outdated.

Mixed Experience Due to Maintenance Issues

inadequate bathroom lighting uncomfortable bed

The location was quite central, a definite advantage.

The bathroom lighting was inadequate. It made preparing in the morning difficult. I noticed black mold in the shower corners. Maintenance is clearly lacking. The bed was like two singles pushed together, not comfortable.
