Great stay! The room was clean, spacious, and very nice. The bed was comfortable, check-in and check-out were smooth, and the Wi-Fi worked perfectly. The hotel is very centrally located, surrounded by restaurants and bars, yet the room was still quiet. I would definitely stay here again.

The room was super clean, location was great, and felt safe even late at night. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it was quite noisy at night. Being right on the street and above the main entrance that was locked at 7pm, I heard every time someone entered the property in the evening and some sort of pounding from the restaurant kitchen all day. That being said, it was a great value and beautiful property and would definitely stay again.

Spacious room. We didn’t use the kitchen but it was equipped with stove, fridge, microwave. The shower was small and the shower floor was very slippery with an incline; could benefit from non-slip application. The courtyard was cute and the security entry was appreciated. Doable 2.5 block walk from train station. Restaurants steps away from property gate. I’d stay here again.
