"We had a very nice stay and really loved the place and all the character it had. It was beautifully updated, preserving the charm and style of the old building while adding modern and useful features. The location was perfect, and the check-in process was very smooth. We also really liked the app—it was very convenient for accessing the property and finding answers to any questions we had.

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very specious, the hotel is located right across from the train station so location is ideal. The room I stayed in had a small terrace with a small sofa and a chair overlooking the main road. Despite being in a very busy location the room was well isolated and there was no voice. A tram station is just out the door and I will definitely stay here again."
