Excellent stay, nice place, great location. Only beef I had is that there was no ice machine? Anywhere on the property? No Ice!? Other than that small issue I would stay again.

Great location but we were an odd room. It was in the stairwell, it had a strong musty smell, the shower door was partially broken which required regular fixing, the table was broken but glued together. The shower was tiny and I am not a
Property was nice and clean. It was a great location to get around. The staff was helpful and nice. The only real problem is if you drive the parking is limited and tight. Durning my 2 weeks stay I ran into ongoing construction and renovation work that made getting in and out of the tight limited parking a problem. Once that is done, they will get 5 stars from me

Oldie but goody
Air-conditioning poor so had to have windows open. Outside noise very high on Saturday night because nightclub is around corner.
Furniture dated
A roof fridge would have been nice, July gets hot and cold refreshments are a must.
Air-conditioning advertised, though not working / not efficient. Didn't ruin our stay or put us off booking again.
Breakfast is worth paying the extra 13 euros.
Tidy rooms. Clean. Good beds - excellent city break.
Great location close to the centre but on a quiet side street. Super helpful staff and a goof breakfast. Room clean and very comfortable, if a bit small. They made a real effort to make our stay really enjoyable.
Near the bus station and the city center, but if you have luggage is a little difficult to get there walking because of the sidewalks and stone streets. The hotel and room were clean. The room was little and the shower curtain didn’t close completely. Besides that, we enjoyed our stay.

A good hotel in a good location, although the single room was quite small.
This hotel is in a fantastic location for exploring the old town. It was clean, staff were friendly and the hotel has character. Unfortunately the hotel is very echoey - on our first night after a long day travelling we were woken up between 5am-6am because of a cleaner in the hall way making noise. Our bed was very creaky so whenever either of us moved the noise woke us, we also struggled to sleep because we could hear other guests coming and going, doors opening and closing and people talking. If it wasn’t for the noise and the lack of sleep I would say I would stay again but unfortunately that ruined it for us.
The room had more than enough space for one person like me. The only real downside was the minibar wasn't working and the hotel did not fixed it after i told the reception desk. They told me the hotel is upgrading the minibars.The other minor thing was the shower cabin was very tight.
Otherwise i had a good experience at the hotel.

Great location very helpful reception. Basic but quite adequate
We stayed in a Design double room. They aren't huge but it had lovely decor and bedding, everything you needed. We loved the location perfect for walking or public transport. Easy to get to and from Airport as well. Staff are very friendly.
Room was to small
Shower also was very small size
The bed terrible, mattress was very worn and cheap and poor quality and been filled up the springs, sleep was horrible.
