The room was compact, cosy and clean. It had a proper double bed, not 2 singles pushed up together, there was a eating area where residents could eat their own food, a lounge area with comfortable seats and a fantastic breakfast that was served in the nearby hotel.

I stayed here for a short trip and was overall satisfied with the experience. The self-service check-in was quick and easy, which I really appreciated after a long day of travel. The room itself was very clean, modern, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The only real downside was the lack of elevator access in some parts of the building. I had a large suitcase, and carrying it up the stairs to my room was definitely a struggle. This could be a challenge for guests with heavier bags or mobility concerns. Other than that, the hotel was quiet, well-maintained, and a great value for the price. I'd consider staying again, but I'd try to pack a little lighter next time!

We enjoyed our one night stay. The hotel is old, which we enjoy. The floors squeak and you can hear guests moving around. The room was small, but worked well for us. The common kitchen space was really nice, with everything you need to prepare your own meals. They even had items for purchase available.

Well, our stay didn’t start off on the right note which was cause for some disappointment off the bat, but we soon overcame that. Our issue was that the hotel does not keep staff in the reception unless you call them to tell them you’re coming. I don’t know about you but if I book a hotel and I don’t show up, I’ll get charged. That is my commitment to the hotel. I would hope that their commitment to me would be that they stay at the reception until their posted closing time on the day of my arrival. We were left to feel that it wasn’t worth their time, in the “off season” to be at the reception when we arrive. To be fair, they did send us a message to have us call before we arrived. We didn’t have phone service so I replied to their message with clear timing on our arrival but clearly that didn’t work. Otherwise, our experience at the hotel was fine. It’s a heritage building with lots of character and a very nice communal kitchen area. The bathroom was small and a little cramped but that might be expected in a building like this. The town was lovely, but not a bite to eat anywhere in the “off season” thankfully the hotel warned us about this so we were able to get a lovely dinner in a neighbouring town.

The only issue we had, was that the pillows were sort of cushion-sized. Very cozy and quaint, but no good for sleeping. Otherwise -- the property was great. Separately -- during the winter season, you will need to check in to the red building around the corner, and then go back to the hotel. No big deal, just an interesting, unique way to do check in. Heads-up. Enjoy your visit, we had a great visit

Super cute little place. Expensive for what it is though. The room is tiny so even though there were only 2 of us, we were practically on top of each other. That said, they have a wonderful common kitchen area with everything you need if you want to save a bit of money and make your own food. The sitting area in a solarium(?) on the second floor is beautiful.

The check-in process was very confusing. This hotel has multiple buildings, so you have to visit a central hub. The shared kitchen area was very clean and had great supplies for making dinner. Sadly, this was the worst stay of our trip. The room was hot, even with the windows open. The building is old, which is cool, until you have to sleep and can hear every noise.
