8/10 Very good

Clean room in a convenient location. I would recommend staying here. I didn't love that the climate control was locked and we needed to leave the window opened, but that was minor.
Mark, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a lovely stay. We loved the corner room with 2 big windows and balcony. The bed was so Comfortable. It was nicely decorated.
Richel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location for my purposes- just as sleep over between train journeys. The room was very small, clean but I think the bed linens could use some bleach.

Cute little room! Staff was helpful in checking us in.

Greg, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very convenient location. Nice coffee machine inside the room. If you could let me know that there is a European power socket located underneath the coffee table, I would not walk all the way to a local Interdiscount store to purchase one (Swiss to European power point adaptor).
William, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Ideal location close to the main rail station. Also local to the bus station where we had some trips booked so location wise was perfect. For those that want peace and quiet this isn't the place because of being so close to the railway station which is in use nearly 24 hours a day. The room itself was clean, the bed was comfortable. The room was cleaned daily. We had no problems whatsoever
Phil, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great hotel close to the train station and in walking distance to the main attractions. Very welcoming staff too.
Hollie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel staff were unfriendly. Check in was self serve. Room was small but comfortable and within easy walk to train station. Cheap for the city.
Simon, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The location is convenient and the neighborhood also fine, the bar i very cozym though closed on Sunday until noon. Self check in easy and convenient. the rooms are fine. I've stayed twice and I found the rooms not very clean. Dirty windows, dusty at the corners of the desk by the bed as well bthroom floor.

Karla, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Love the design of the rooms in this hotel, bathroom was gorgeous and had really nice toiletries - so no need to pack your own. It’s self check in, but that was easy. Very close to the station and in a nice area.
Kathryn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice property, steps from central train station. Lovely cafe downstairs for breakfast. The only thing I did not appreciate was the self-check-in computer. Not even a hello from hotel staff? Was off-putting.
Susan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

As others have said, the room is small. The only option to get into the bed is to crawl over the other person in the bed (if you are the person sleeping on the inside). And the pillows leave MUCH to be desired! The shower is nice and hot with good water pressure. And the toiletries smell wonderful. You will NOT meet a front desk person to check yourself in: only the bartender is available to help you should you have any troubles. The bartender was very nice!
Tamara, 4-night trip

Always good to stay here. Highly recommend
