A very convenient place close to the attractions. The place needs a bit of renovation but is located in a good area.
Can use some comfortable mattresses as the current ones are not good and the bathroom fan was too loud.

No staff about but sort of worked
Useful location but on arrival no one there and had to call to get access. Not very welcoming. High degree of utility. Nice artworks. Didn’t see any staff at all when I left so went on my way leaving the key as indicated in a glass jar

Beautiful old building. Local neighborhood feel. Great porridge. Hot showers. Very clean and modern bathroom. Our room was at the back and so very quiet. Restaurants to walk to. Owners were very pleasant and helpful. Easy to get to city center via bus. Enjoyed our stay.

Too expensive, impression was possibly a two-star place with hard beds, noisy rooms and sloppy painted / decorated. Breakfast could at least be included.

Management responded instantly so I believe they are very invested in their customers. I think the bed mattress should be upgraded. The bathroom floor in our room was a bit water logged and grout needed to be cleaned. I do think this is a safe hotel with a good rate per night.

The lady in charge was friendly and helpful. There was only Continental breakfast available, and that was limited and cost extra. I booked here because my usual guest house was not available, paid quite a bit more for a top floor room with sloping roof and very small window.

The best thing was the area, several good eating spots and was convenient for the university where I was at a conference, however I would not choose to stay here again, I felt it was very overpriced for what it was. I was in a small single room which felt very dated and a bit shabby. One out of three mornings I had no hot water

A bit tired but was clean and met our needs for an overnight stay. Little contact with staff but access was simple with keys for all doors to get in late at night.
