Everything was nice and tidy, clean, and felt like being home. Staff were welcoming and friendly. I had a small cozy room towards the back. I do wish there was a way to open the ceiling window (the only window in the room), to allow some airflow. Breakfast was outstanding!

Nice hotel and excellent location! All the city's major attractions, services, restaurants and public transport are within a short walk. The staff was very friendly and the hotel breakfast was good. Our room was small but warm. The bed was only 140cm but that was ok. We warmly recommend this accommodation.
