The staff was friendly! and VERY helpful. the location was great. It was a short walk to so many bars and restaurants. we booked an apartment for four nights and it reminded me of a home from home.
The rooms were warm and cosy, and the finish of the rooms were beautiful and stylish. But the wi-fi was slow.

bus stop convenient bus stop studio apartment great studio breakfast basket nice breakfast small room small rail few hangers
I liked that bus stop 14 was close. It made catching tour buses easy each morning. the studio apartment had enough space for a couple of friends traveling! the breakfast basket allowed us to save money. We packed lunches for our adventures.
The room felt small! there was almost no space to unpack clothes and belongings. I lived out of my suitcase. there was a small rail with only six hangers for two people! there were no drawers, and nowhere to store our suitcases.

I found the breakfast basket delicious and plentiful. It was enough for both breakfast and lunch. The hotel accommodated vegetarian needs beautifully.
