Very central part of the city, with nearby transit only a walk away. This quirky and charismatic hotel really does put smiles on faces. Complimentary mini bar was a much welcome surprise after 13 hours of travel. Dining upstairs was wonderful and has spectacular views.

Cool and funky hotel

Really good hotel in a nice area. Cool vibe and an excellent rooftop bar. Breakfast was good but 29 euro seems a bit steep. Rooms cool and bed very comfortable. Would definitely go back but be warned bar was very busy Friday night and had to queue to get in.

Cute but needs some improvements

Overall it was good. The rooms could use better lighting, specially when you have a room that it’s facing another room on the other side and you have no privacy. You want to close the curtains and have good lighting in case you need to sort out your stuff or whatever when you’re traveling. Also, I found unnecessary things like the tote and the teddy bear for sale and I couldn’t find a kettle or a coffee machine so I had to call to request one which should be a basic thing to have in a hotel room specially when the rates are on the expensive side. I also didn’t love the sink being so close to the bed so if someone splashes water it goes on the bed. I wish they would just use a regular queen size or king size mattress, instead of putting two twin size together, which is uncomfortable especially when it doesn’t have a comfortable topper or anything. The location was great for what I needed it.
