city centerexcessive heatsame key

The hotel is close to the city center, therefore the location met my expectations.

The room was too warm even after turning off the heating. THREE people had to sleep with the windows open. The same key opened both the front door and the room door which seemed insecure. Every room could be opened with the same key.

Really good City Stay!

great locationconvenient check-incharming atmosphere

The location is FANTASTIC, a short walk to Castle hill and close to the bus station for trips to Devin. Late check-in and check-out were VERY convenient for my travel schedule. The building has a charming 19th-century atmosphere, with high ceilings and aesthetic windows.

The bathroom window did not close properly.

The room included a kettle with tea and coffee sets, very useful for quick refreshments. High ceilings created a spacious feeling in the room. A soft, large bed ensured a restful sleep throughout my stay, I slept LIKE a baby!!!
