5Stayed for 2 nights in June. Overall good experience.
Pros: Compact and intimate. Rooms looked recently refurbished. Excellent matress and sleep. Free wi-fi. Desk service was very good and responsive. Breakfast was just right, healthy and fresh. Location is superb, with close access to the trains, very short walking distance to the waterside, and city center, and an abundance of restraunts, bars and shops in the neighbourhood.
Cons: Bathroom is too small (why do hotels insist on baths, which most guests rarely use, rather than install showers only?), my room was on the 6th floor, while the elevator gets only up to the 5th, so this may be a problem for older guests or those carrying a lot of luggage.
Overall, at the right price this hotel is a great place to stay, and certainly better than staying at the expensive,impersonal hotel chains.
