    Really lovely place building next to the pretty river. Rooms were spacious and quiet, and had lots of conveniences, like a range of coffee/tea, water by our bed- love the designer head board in the room!

    The hotel has a very vintage vibe which is very nice. It's located by the river, at a close proximity to city center. The room was very cozy, and they are very generous on the tea/coffee selection which is a very important detail in my books😅

    The room was big and comfortable. Shower & bathroom was large and more than adequate. The food was very good and service was excellent.
