Naomi was a great help to us, helping with our dinner plans. The rooms were the best we had on our trip to Switzerland, France, Belgium and The Netherlands. We would highly recommend the Falco and gladly stay there again!

Close to the main attractions and walkable. The 2. Bedroom apartment felt a bit small and the powder room /toilet is really cramped.

8.8/10 Excellent! (590 reviews)

Vintage Hotel is fun and quirky in terms of its design and styling, and the staff are excellent, however the rooms need to be freshened up with a new coat of paint and the bathrooms need work as well. Our stay was fine, but the hotel is lacking the attention to details that makes it good or even great.
