    Request a room with a normal window instead of a skylight for better comfort and space.

    Location's hard to beat—just a few minutes from the bus station, and everything's a quick stroll away. The interior's got a modern feel, with neat decorations that catch the eye when you walk around.

    The two-bedroom apartment? Let’s just say it's not for light sleepers, with road noise that can rattle your skull. Single glazed sash windows do no favors for sound insulation, so expect trams and late-night chats to crash your dreams. If you're lugging bags up to the third floor, be prepared—it’s a trek worth counting your steps for, particularly in a listed building with no lift. Add in some sparse decor issues and you'd think a deep clean might be in order to freshen things up. If you like coziness, the rooms are snug, but a Velux window doesn’t cut it when you're hoping for fresh air or a decent view. Just remember, stairs could be a deal breaker for some.

    Great staff and comfy stay

    The staff here were super nice and helpful! They helped with my bags since there’s no lift, which was a lifesaver. My room was cute, pretty cozy for a solo traveler, but the carpets looked a bit worn. The bar area was chill and had a good drink selection. Just wished there were more facilities in the room, like bottled water.

    Perfect spot to explore!

    Had a fab time! The location is unbeatable, just a stroll away from the main sights. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. Loved waking up to a nice view. Breakfast hit the spot. They've got a chill bar/lounge area to unwind. Only thing was our table wasn’t super clean.

    The City Double Room was super spacious and very cozy. Loved the large bed and the bathroom was great, too, with a nice deep bath and a walk-in shower. Plus, the view across the river was a nice touch! Really nice atmosphere with tall ceilings and stylish decor.

    quirky room

    Definitely a peculiar stay for the brave

    So there I was, in this quirky basement room with a 'view' of the roof. The staff were friendly enough, one guy helped me with my check-in and I gotta say, he was a real gem amidst the chaos. It’s not what you expect when you're paying good money but the charm kinda makes it memorable.

    It wasn’t inexpensive but for what I got, it was still alright.

    The city double room was spacious with a comfy bed and a private bathroom featuring a walk-in shower. The bar area had a lovely outdoor terrace for relaxing with drinks. Location was perfect, just a short walk from attractions. The staff was super friendly and offered great local recommendations. Breakfast had a nice variety and was made to order.

    great location
    family-friendly restaurants
    limited family activities

    We loved the location as it was within walking distance to the tram station and the shopping area. Our small kids enjoyed the nearby parks, and we found some great family-friendly restaurants just around the corner. The staff made our stay even better with their warm hospitality.

    My kids wished there were more family-friendly activities in the hotel.

    spacious bathroom
    cozy bed
    rooftop terrace
    street noise

    I had a lovely time staying here, especially enjoying the spacious bathroom and the cozy bed. The rooftop terrace was a great spot to unwind, and there was also a nice lounge area for some downtime. The only downside was there might be a bit of noise from the street at night, but it didn't bother my overall experience. 😊

    decent stay with great location

    The junior suite was spacious and well-appointed, offering ample room for my family. The city view from our suite added a lovely touch to our stay.

    The check-in process was a bit slow.
