Good location. Nice breakfast. Comfortable bed. Housekeeping not very thorough and placed their tools, brooms, bucket etc at the bottom of the steep staircase, had to be careful not to trip! Quite disappointed that our room, for 3 nights, was facing the busy, noisy street, not the canal as expected.

A lovely room in a quiet area off the beaten track but lots of amenities nearby, on the tram route and walkable to main sites. Room was well equipped and nicely decorated, bed was very comfy. Staff were welcoming and friendly. We were on the top floor and the stairs are very steep but ok if you don’t have any mobility issues.

Love this property. The room is cozy and cute. It is so close to the metro so you can easily go anywhere. The only downside is they don't have elevator so if you have big luggages, that might be an issue.

Excellent stay here. We were on the top floor and navigating the narrow staircase was a bit difficult, but good exercise. The free happy hour was wonderful and gave us the opportunity to meet new friends. It was a 10-30 minute walk to everything we wanted to see and the staff were amazing.

Staff were super friendly and helpful. The hotel was in a great location to get to everything either walking or the Metro was super close. The hotel was a little older and everything was clean especially linen and towels but just needed a little updating …
