The staff were super helpful and gracious. They let me check in very early. The food was excellent. It was very convenient to both the main train station and tour buses, while still being quiet. I felt safe as a senior traveling alone.

Sandra United States of America

Super cute hotel. Friendly and helpful staff and the location is great. Actually better than I expected.

Kevin United States of America

Lovely large room away from traffic noise with a great breakfast and a short walk to the train station. Very nice staff.

Andrew United States of America

Great breakfast, very helpful front desk staff. Very nice hotel, would definitely stay there again.

Daniel United States of America

The location, one level up from the "central" tram station and very close to the train station, right near the old town, the river and the university, is great. Since I arrived in the morning after a sleepless night, I emailed ahead and asked to be able to check in when I arrived. They said that they would try but could not promise to have a room ready, but they did, so I could go to my room right away and rest. This was very much appreciated! My room was large, with a huge bathroom, and a sitting room. Breakfast was also nice. And the staff were always helpful.
