The location allows one to enjoy a lively city and avoid the busiest part. The rooms are well furnished and nicely decorated. I loved the kitchen and a fridge. The sunny rooftop gives a beautiful view during breakfast.

The room door had some specifics in the opening process. That's why it's hard to attend the bathroom without creating noise for your roommate.

The breakfast included a savory option with a bigger portion. The staff provided a secure place for bike storage since i was bike touring. They also permitted me to ship travel bags ahead. I stored them for about 10 days.

The door made some noise during opening. it was a minor inconvenience.

The rooftop terrace was a nice feature I used for breakfast and enjoyed the views.

The room felt small and a bit stuffy. The window faced an inner courtyard, so the natural light was limited. The noise from other guests moving around was noticeable, disrupting sleep.

The location is very convenient. Local eateries and other restaurants are nearby. Historical buildings are within walking distance, and so is the waterfront. The breakfast on the rooftop terrace was AMAZING!!! I savored every bite.

The pillows felt slightly too firm for my liking.
