CRU was the perfect location for Old Town. Our room was spacious and we loved sitting in our big windows overlooking the street and watching the tourists walk by. The staff was so lovely and the artichokes in the CRU restaurant were to die for.

Loved this beautiful old building. Partner found the room a bit hot but I was fine once I discovered the secondary glazing panels opened and the temperature dropped a bit. Place seemed safe and secure with the code for access and reception staff were helpful with the requests we made. Wholeheartedly recommend the Osteria Il Cru on the ground floor too.

This hotel is absolutely fabulous. We are a family traveling and this is a perfect spot. Hotel itself has so much character and unique architectural features. The staff were so pleasant and accommodating. The breakfast was delightful and location is perfect to walk Old Town. We would recommend this hotel to anyone. Only catch- be aware there are some stairs and if mobility is an issue, let front desk know so they can assist you.

The CRU hotel is truly unique. With no elevator and plenty of stairs, I wouldn’t recommend it for those seeking a fully accessible hotel or those who travel with heavy/large luggage. The multi-hallway journey to our room was really interesting and created a fairy tale feeling 😀. Being an older hotel the walls are quite thin. The location in Old Town is great for exploring the area within walking distance.

Exactly as promised. Fantastic location and everything you need. Shower was great especially given the age of building. Winding corridors and steps as others mention but I agree that adds to charm. All my interactions with staff were great but you don’t really interact with anyone much beyond check in - it is only small so is set up to be efficient (no 24hr reception, breakfast is a buffet for all guests). It was warm when I was there so they added a fan to my room, but if AC important you might want to consider that.
