This is a very old building that has been completely rebuilt inside and provides practical, modern spaces throughout. We had a large, modern bathroom with separate shower and bathtub, bidet and ample room. The bedroom was also very adequate in size. We did not intend to eat breakfast here, but we checked out the buffet (€12/person) and ate there both days of our stay. Good selection and preparation. Staff members were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others. Great location just half a block off the popular riverfront.

Great location! Breakfast was very good. Can’t drive to hotel so must walk about 300 meters to get to hotel.

This hotel looks to be a converted old building. While charming, it has some flaws. The rooms on the fourth floor are very hot even with the air conditioner going full blast. The only solution is to open the skylight windows. If you do, you will be treated to a 24 hour serenade of dozens of seagulls screaming their heads off. Make sure to bring ear plugs!

Small, clean room. Large shower. Large wardrobe. Great staff; helpful & spoke English. Breakfast was very good but not excellent. Location was great but location on rough-terrain street inaccessible to Uber/Bolt (only taxis are allowed).
