Hotel for a quick stay is in the perfect location, walking distance to everything. Only thing I would suggest going forward is having better breakfast options that can cater to all example a chicken sausage/beans/turkey bacon etc. All in all, phenomenal stay

The hotel location is great for peaceful stay and walking around the city. The interior is beautiful and harmonious. My room was clean, comfortable and quiet, extra points for different lightning options. The breakfast was delicious with good vegetarian options. The personel were kind and helpful, but I did not encounter them that much during my three night stay.

Loved this hotel. It’s small and quaint which is what I like. We were a family of 4 and the breakfast is fantastic and outside garden area. The bed for my 2 older sons was a bit small so next time I will write 4 adults but the main bed was huge and comfy.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This hotel has been recently renovated, but still holds the charm of being a small independent hotel, with a comfortable stay. There's no aircon (so I maybe wouldn't recommend it for the summer months, though our window did open), and there was extremely loud music with very drunk students shouting along to the music until 1am in the back courtyard on the Tuesday night, but it was quiet the rest of our stay. Breakfast provided everything needed, and it was a good location with loads of great restaurants and things to do on the doorstep, and being 15 min walk from the central station. There's no safe, nor a kettle in the room, but free tea and coffee is in reception around the clock, and the friendly staff also looked after our bags when we checked out.
