Jane, Sep 2024

My room was in the basement and had no windows. It was obviously dark all the time. Had I known that I would never have booked the room. I thought I booked a standard double. Totally colored my experience of my stay there. The breakfast floor was too contrived with multiple small rooms with food placed in a haphazard sort of way. Tho pleasant, I didn’t find the staff helpful

8Very good
Jakub, Jan 2018

Pros. Breakfast, location, cleanliness, the super helpful staff ... all of it meeting much beyond expectations. The live music with breakfast (piano one day, sax the other) was a nice touch, and the library in the evening for reading was perfect.

Cons. Not a quiet hotel, at all, and so for the light sleeper, a better spot is needed (especially for New Year’s Eve when the streets party til 6am).
