Perfect little find

Awesome, this is a really cute boutique hotel. The room was perfect for a couple and a great bed. I was sorry we were there only one night because I really wanted to soak in the tub with the view of the church tower.

Charming small hotel on the square so everything is walkable. Can be noisy at night if you face the square. There is an elevator but you still may have to walk a few steps up to your room. Rooms are clean and nicely decorated. The bath area is not private and we had a very small WC you could not turn around in. Otherwise enjoyed our stay.

Very nice little hotel, We stayed in a suite, everything seemed perfect, but there is a loud wooden stair just outside the room and people come and go all night long, so it's not very nice. Also de AC is a little loud.

The hotel is in a super central location, easily walkable from train station. Decor and ambience is quirky, staff on front desk were, for the most part, friendly and helpful. Room located on first floor was simply just too small to be called comfortable. The sink is bizarrely located within the bedroom, as is the shower. A couple of hairs found in corner of sink on first day :( No chest of drawers, no wardrobe and only room to hang 5 items of clothing- totally impractical for stays of more than a couple of days. No privacy with blinds open: 3 windows on a corner room with buildings adjacent (and close) meant we had to keep them closed most of the time for any privacy. Room was turned over every day but sheets not changed during our 4 night stay. Returned to our room on final evening to find hand soap was not replenished (completely empty) and although fresh towels were provided, the used ones were still in the shower where we’d left them in the morning. Biggest gripe- after returning to the hotel one afternoon during a thunderstorm, we found the hotel entrance locked with nobody on reception. There is nowhere to shelter. Outside buzzer appeared not to work and nobody was answering the phone. We waited in the rain with another guest for 15mins until a further guest arrived with their key. Barely an apology from the staff member on duty who appeared confused that she had not heard the phone. Generally a nice little boutique hotel, but really needs more attention to detail.

Great base for getting to know the city

Right in the centre of things - a friendly spot from which to explore. The room commanded a good view of the Domtor and the goose market obvs. The vegan breakfast wasn’t for me but there are lots of cafes nearby. Good curtains to block out the early sunshine and I slept well!
