I love the location, very walkable to so many restaurants, museums and shops. It's also a couple mins walk to the bus stop that will take you and from the airport. The room I had was facing Old town so the view was amazing. It was a little loud being on the 3rd floor, I could hear the buses when they pass by but not an issue so much at night. The room and the bathroom are clean, the bed is pretty comfortable. They were unable to accommodate me for early check in but they had free luggage storage. The reception and housekeeping staff were all nice and friendly. I definitely would book this hotel again in the future.

This property had rather poor internet service. The staff was very helpful in “resetting” the system but the service was no better. Another hotel guest had similar complaints confirming that it wasn’t my devices. Difficult for tourists and business guests.

Accommodating hotel, let me change my dates at last minute due to travel issues. Lobely, friendly staff. Nice breakfast. Hotel clean but in need of a refurb/update. Wifi signal very poor in the rooms
