In brief

+

–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms can be inconsistent — While many find them fine, one guest described a small, shabby room with damp beds, and others note basics that are 'a bit basic'.
- Limited amenities — Smaller room types list only shower and heating, and the property restricts pets and smoking.
- Check-in and check-out windows are specific — Check-in is from 15:00 to 23:59, and check-out runs from 01:00 to 11:00 – flexible but might not suit all arrivals.

7.8Verified guest“Their breakfast with fresh strawberries and a variety of freshly cooked options was excellent – it made other places we've stayed look bad.”
7.8Verified guest“The main attraction is its central location, right by the metro station. That makes getting around the city easy without long walks, and it's great for independent exploring.”
7.8Verified guest“Quiet atmosphere and nicely proportioned rooms.”
7.8Verified guest“Large room, everything was good. Staff were really helpful, location was great, and the restaurant served hot food. Breakfasts were excellent and service efficient – plus I could park nearby.”
7.8Verified guest“I booked this to work on my laptop, so I emailed ahead to confirm internet. On arrival, they had no record of my booking, and the first room was the smallest, shabbiest I've seen – no connection at all. The staff member seemed scared of his boss. He moved me to a slightly larger room, which I appreciated, but it was grimy and the beds were damp. I left without a refund because I'd paid by card and didn't want to get him in trouble.”
7.8Verified guest“Room was average, bed clean, plenty of towels, and lots of tea and coffee.”
