“Our room on upstairs floor was OK. It's an old building so can't expect a lot. It was clean enough, staff was very pleasant and helpful. However, based on brother's room will not stay here again. It was very quiet which was nice.”

“Hotel was in a good area and easily accessible by public transport (tram). Although a small friendly hotel, it provided us with all we required for our short stay. Breakfast was plentiful and the waiting staff were efficient and most helpful. We stayed for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definately return.”
