Check in was very quick, though because we were later a key card couldn't be programmed at the time for the room. We went out for a drink and he was able to do this when we returned after midnight. Room was comfortable. We were on the 6th floor, which has Velux windows and no blinds. Therefore the room was bright very early on! Breakfast was good and there was plenty of choice. Mainly used it as a base as we were out most of the day

Simple but clean room. Quiet and close to the old town and river. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Careful - there is another 'hotel' with a very similar name and close by. Nobody available after 18:00 and you are left on your own to figure it out. I would definitely stay there again.
