The room was well appointed with just about balcony view of the river. However, the overall appearance of the hotel is all a bit low key, check in is at the nearby Krone hotel and the entrance to magic is very underwhelming. The room was a bit tacky, but functional for a short break

Firstly the positives. Location is perfect, right in the heart of the Old Town and within walking distance of everything. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The room was spacious but could definitely do with some improvements and upgrades. The room felt a bit dark and limited natural light, there was no main light in our room only lamps which was a bit strange. The fridge didn’t work. A couple of the mirrors in the room were cracked and could do with replacing. The room just felt a bit basic and dull, no character. The bed was extremely squeaky every time we moved and it felt a bit wobbly. The bathroom was a good size but the shower is very low down which wasn’t ideal as a tall person! On the plus side the room was very clean. Unfortunately we couldn’t have the window open for long as people smoking in the alley below meant the smoke came into our room! Although this can’t be helped by the hotel. The room was very warm with no thermostat to change the temperature. Check in is in a different hotel around the corner which is a bit annoying when walking around with luggage. If you could drop your room key into a box in the hotel without having to check out in the other one that would be good? Overall, a reasonable hotel in a perfect location. Nothing special but good for the price paid. Pretty basic, could do with some redecoration but did the job for a one night stay!

The unit was very clean and everything work as it should. They only problem was that all the cigarette smoke comes in the building from people who use to smoke at the entrance. Second, if you are planning to wake up a little late the housekeepers will wake you up, doing their job very loud at 7am.

The room was disgusting, trashy, had a mirror above the bed and was covered in hearts. I booked a normal room and got that. They wouldn’t even refund me my entire amount. Planning to write a strong email

The main positive for this hotel is it's in a great location. However, that location can also be very loud, especially at night. We stayed in the Mystic room and while it's big enough from front to back there is very little to get into and out of the bed. The bathroom was fine. Check-in is at a different hotel which was a bit weird.
