charming stay close to museums

convenient location major art friendly staff

The location proved convenient. I could easily walk to major art museums. trams were just a block away, offering easy access to other areas. the hotel staff were friendly and provided excellent service. i would certainly consider staying here again, when i return.

My room was located downstairs. It was quite small, although decorated in a fun way. the room became very hot during the night. the window overlooked bins, noisy in the mornings, disrupting my sleep.

the hotel is in a quiet part of the city. the reception staff seems lovely. i saw the rooms have a kettle, a fan, a safe, and hanging space. we could leave our luggage there after checking out, it felt safe.

the room was cramped, it felt really warm. the lack of storage in the room was a hassle, we couldn't keep the room tidy . we needed to ask for tea and coffee refills constantly.
