Carissa
Had a really lovely time here for a weekend away. The hotel is beautiful and felt very clean and I really love the mix of old and new. The bathroom was a little too dark for doing my makeup, but I made it work. The beds were very comfortable and my partner and I had some of the best sleep we’ve had in months! We were on the street side, but did not have any problem with noises.

Hotel is extremely dated the carpet in the room is filthy and rest of furniture is so old it appears unclean even if it isn’t. Lots of street noise even on weeknights. Location is central and walkable to most things. Water is either too hot or too cold. And room is too cold without adequate heating. How is this place listed as four star on Google seems like a 2 at best.

We stayed for one night. Friendly, professional staff. We had a room on the street-side, and while there was a very loud concert on the market square (very close!) we almost heard nothing from it. The room was cosy, clean, great bathroom, very good airco. Absolutely nothing to complain about.
