We stayed one night during a winter car vacation along the east coast. The hotel is central to shopping, restaurants, and lovely neighborhoods. Street parking was free from 7 pm to 9 am. The facility is steeped in history with charming furnishings in the common spaces and high quality beds and bedding in the room - the most comfortable of all the hotels during our trip. Warm fresh bread and lots of other delicious breakfast offerings. Coffee and tea in the common area as you wish. It’s a secure building and very quiet - in winter with windows closed. I can imagine hearing sounds of the city in the summer. There is a handy elevator to the hotel level, but there are at least 10 steps to get up to the elevator. We will return for a summer visit to this lovely and historic city.

Adorable boutique hotel

The hotel is really convenient to the train station. It is super cute with antique furniture and toy trains (not antique). There isn't a lot of staff, but we got our checkin info by SMS (door codes and room assignments) and everything worked smoothly. The toilets and showers were clean and never a problem to find an available facility. My room had a sink which made it more comfortable to brush teeth and have water during the night. The breakfast had a great selection, even make-your-own museli.

Very central, facing railway station. You need your phone to check in, they'll send the door code. Shared loos & showers. Rooms comfy & clean. Tea & coffee & snacks freely available, good breakfast. Overall good value for money, good base for exploring the area.

Run down and dirty, funky smell in the shower stalls, no sound proofing whatsoever. A hobo slept in the stairs when we came home late at night. Good location close to the railway station.

Enkelt och trevligt boende med fantastiskt läge. Allt var rent och fint. Det enda negativa var att man hörde alla i korridoren utanför rummet nattetid, även fast de inte gjorde några onödiga ljud.

Välj ett rum med hög siffra om du vill sova.

Blev tyvärr väckt flertalet gånger från 02:00 på morgonen och framåt då väggarna är papperstunna och jag hade rummet närmast utgång/entre. Klev slutligen upp då städet dammsög rummet vägg i vägg vid 6:30 "som om hon försökte riva ner väggen med hjälp av dammsugaren". Annars ett trevligt rum, renoverade duschar och en okej frukost.
