Visited first week of April 2026 as a solo traveler. Arrived late and they were kind enough to wait for me to get there at 10pm. Lady working the front desk is amazing, lovely and very accommodating. Same with the staff. Room is clean. No noise. Only complaint would be the hot water in the shower was weak. But not a dealbreaker. Continental breakfast was good. Hotel is about 20-25mins walk to central. Safe area as well. Would recommend.

I only have one word for this place: wow! It’s a beautifully renovated house with so much charm and character. The atmosphere is truly special—an old house that’s been thoughtfully updated, preserving its soul while offering all the modern comforts. It’s also very affordable compared to other hotels in the area, which made it an even better find. One of the highlights is the coffee shop next door, which is part of the hotel—it adds a lot to the overall vibe and makes the whole experience feel even more cozy and unique. The breakfast was fresh, complete, and served in a beautiful setting. And above all, the staff were incredibly friendly and kind—always welcoming and happy to help with anything we needed. Overall, such a memorable and warm place to stay. Highly recommended!
The hotel was small and charming, with exceptionally kind staff. The rooms were clean and the breakfast was quite good. Its location was excellent, providing easy access to Cristal Park. PS. Perhaps a larger coffee machine would be a welcome addition😉
What a great find. Just on the outskirts of the old town but within a 10 minute walk to get there. It was an easy drive to get there. Parking is an issue if you don't have the Telpark app which allows you to park for €8 for 24 hours right around the corner from the hotel. The service was excellent, friendly and helpful. The room was amazing. Cozy, comfortable and quite big but the way they had it decorated with a sitting area with a couch it felt wonderfully cozy and homey. A nice breakfast was served as well. Much better than staying in the heart of the city.
Beautiful and charming hotel. It’s located in a great spot in front of a garden park and within walking distance of most of the touristic part of town. The hotel itself is so cute, stylish and uniquely decorated, each room looks different and the halls and rooms all smell off amazing and different scented diffusers. Might be an issue for those with allergies but we loved it. The staff is also super nice and kind. The price to quality ratio is amazing and I rather stay here than any major chain.
