We stayed here for a fortnight and really enjoyed our time here. Everything about the hotel was excellent. Our room was very clean and comfortable, the breakfast was excellent too. The hotel is just a short walk from the old town. There is a very modest charge to park your car.

We had a small room with three twin beds jammed into the room. Limited room to move about, and it did not match the charm of the rooms in the pictures. Breakfast was good. It was not bad, but it was nothing to write home about.

LOCATION & BREAKFAST

I thought the hotel was a bit overpriced for the quality of the room. However, the location can not be beat and the breakfast is absolutely fantastic. I would recommend this hotel to friends and family.

Location convenient for O

Good location, albeit in a run-down street. Close to Old Town and restaurants, railway station and walkable to main sites. However, my superior room had flies in it and the reception did nothing about it throughout my stay. Reception did not answer the internal phone when I called. My towels were not changed and rubbish not removed from the room. The bath was very slippy and no mat. I had to use a towel in the bath to stand on. The bathroom fan stayed on throughout and was noisy. I could hear the person next door snoring!

Not charming and not worth it.

I just cannot believe that any of the positive reviews are true or that anyone would stay here more than once. The hotel is rundown, the beds are basically military cots, the rooms stink, the showers is actually smaller than a cruise ships. The location is about 3 blocks from everything but I am literally listening to someone coughing on the street and I'm on the fourth floor, meaning you will not sleep because you will hear everything with the window closed. The TV has 3 channels, the hot water comes and goes ( if you can get in the shower). I could go on but and I am an avid traveler and not prone to giving bad reviews but this place is bad. Also, these photos are NOT real, the place isn't even blue!
Nothing like the pics online.
3 Chanels old and tiny

The hotel has only a couple of minutes walk from the old town, but is on a quiet back street. The staff were efficient but not particularly friendly. The hotel decor is a bit tired. We had two rooms on the top floor and both had two sky lights, one with a blind and one without which meant the room was light from 5am which woke my wife and daughter. The breakfast buffet was very busy but had a reasonable selection.

Good location, close to all the old town attractions with lots of places to eat and drink near by. The staff were all very friendly. Breakfast was good with a variety of options. The only negatives were the bed, which had a very thin mattress and was too firm and the smell outside the hotel, probably caused by a blocked drain somewhere.

A centrally placed hotel. The room was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable. The Old Town is a 5 minute walk away. There are many fantastic eateries in the Old Town as well as historic sights such as House of the Blackheads and The Three Brothers. Highly recommended.

Property was nice and clean. It was a great location to get around. The staff was helpful and nice. The only real problem is if you drive the parking is limited and tight. Durning my 2 weeks stay I ran into ongoing construction and renovation work that made getting in and out of the tight limited parking a problem. Once that is done, they will get 5 stars from me

A roof fridge would have been nice, July gets hot and cold refreshments are a must. Air-conditioning advertised, though not working / not efficient. Didn't ruin our stay or put us off booking again. Breakfast is worth paying the extra 13 euros. Tidy rooms. Clean. Good beds - excellent city break.
