“Very good design - but a few improvements to make”
We really liked our room and the very "arty" design of the hotel. The staff was helpful (we could left our luggages for the day while visiting). Perhaps not the best "quality / price", but it definitely has character.

“Do not stay here. It is not worth the pri”
Location is good if you want to stay in the old town part of the city, like we did. It is very close to the train station ( walking distance) , so very convenient for arrival and departure. Overall very clean, toiletries in the bathroom. And the overall design of the building is quite nice, giving a cool feeling to the hotel.
