“Perfect stay at a charming boutique hotel with exceptional staff”
This boutique hotel offers a fantastic location near the city center and transport, providing a peaceful retreat right next to a park. The unique atmosphere blends modern design with the historic charm of a former chapel, creating a calm and inspiring environment. Exceptionally helpful and friendly staff at the reception made my stay memorable, and I will certainly return.

Good parking, easy access to town, lovely staff, wonderful building and quirky room. Great lights but a little dim in the room. Can’t comment on breakfast as we didn’t take it.

We were from NZ and the location for us was great, we like the old building & being converted to a hotel. Was warm and cosy .. the staff were very helpful & friendly and always made sure everything was good 😊 Close to the park, great gardens to walk and to trams and train station.

“Convenient to train station and park but not to lively nice commercusl areas .”
The property was very close to the Train station but in a very quiet area near the most beautiful botanical park. The room was very quiet. On the outside the building was quite beautiful. In an old church. And in a quiet walled yard. Very clean.
