A lovely stay in a compact but thoughtfully designed room (the shelves are so handy). Close to markets, dining, shopping, and trams that link you to the rest of the city.

Perfect stay for a couple touring the city!

Great room. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean, room was energy efficient. Need to put your key in a slot to turn on the lights and air, and you can take it out when you leave for the day to reduce energy use. It was in a great location close to lots of food and the museums, but quiet during the evening for resting. My husband and I had a blast!

The design and interior decoration was outstanding. There was confusion regarding an extra breakfast charge which I was told would be waived and was not; a request for late check out was offered but declined; the hotel is not as centrally located as indicated on the web page offering. The stay was comfortable and facilities very clean.
Room layout and decoration was excellent

Great hotel. Good location.

Nice hotel in a convenient location. Less touristy than Old Town but still near plenty of bars/restaurants.
