Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's central location, friendly and helpful staff, and the quality of the breakfast. Many enjoyed the boutique vibe, quirky decor, and social atmosphere. However, several guests were disturbed by high noise levels, especially at night, and some found the rooms to be small or lacking in soundproofing. Despite these drawbacks, the overall experience was positive for most, with many highlighting the welcoming service and convenient setting.

Theodore, Apr 2017
Pros (+) Very clean and quite comfortable... Not luxury, but very good value. The location is very good.
Cons (-) I would have preferred having been able to take a room key with me instead of checking in and out... this was okay as the front desk was always staffed and available.
