This is a very good, quirky boutique hotel. The room was small-ish but nice. The TV suffered from poor communication from the remote control. A staff member did his best to resolve this, but it was still tricky.Generally the staff were very helpful and friendly. The location was very convenient for the Old Town, shopping and good restaurants.

Horrible experience would avoid

I would never recommend this hotel, in terms of the hotel and breakfast I can say it was excellent what ruins our experience was finding that out the bedding in our room was full of dried blood and had not been changed once we brought it up with management they tried saying it was paint, once I showed it was blood they said they would investigate they then went on to gaslight os saying we must have caused the blood even though we showed the manager on the night we reported it that it couldn’t have come from us as we had no cuts on any of our legs. It’s absolutely disgusting to think that we slept the first night in sheets covered in someone else’s blood. We didn’t expect compensation as the rest of our experience was great. All we expected was an apology instead we got gas lot and blamed. Would totally avoid the place.
