Very helpful staff. Stayed in one of the 2 rooms across the outdoor hall from the front desk. Quite small room, but for 2 nights it was fine. Wifi kicked out, especially the further from the door of the room. They could use a wifi extender in that part of the hotel, really good signal in the lounge/restauant. Happy hour drink specials, didn’t eat here. Lots of walkable restaurants and about 10 minutes to the rainbow street and lots of shops and cafes. Could use a fan in the bathroom as there was no ventilation after a shower.

Small but comfortable!

The room is small and there is limited storage space but the bed was more comfortable than some 5 star hotels. The room was cleaned well and breakfast was good… it would be nice if they had changed the menu a little each day and if they had skyr. The staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, it was a great stay and the location was convenient. I would definitely return.

Excellent service. Excellent location. We had a very small room, although I knew that at booking. Nice updates. Shower was not usable. We were able to store our luggage ( not really secured but we don’t travel with valuables) and they provided an area to rearrange things and freshen up. Coffee was available in the room. While there was an electric kettle there were no supplies for it. Nice downtown area within walking distance yet in quiet neighborhood. We used link on hotel website for transportation

Nana was so welcoming, and went out of her way to offer us an upgrade after a last minute cancellation allowed her to offer us an upgrade from the basement to the 4th floor. She facilitated the change by actually coming to our initial room and then meeting us with the new keys on the 4th floor for the new room. Only negative was the fact that the water leaked under the shower doors and made rather a mess. But we would definitely come back! Very cozy, and nice that they offer a happy hour (although we arrived too late to take advantage of it. Thank you Nana!

Staff try to ensure meeting needs of travelers and very accommodating. The property is old and needs some upgrades which are expected given its age. It is a cozy and charming place for sure. I recommend travelers who value cleanliness, charm, and human touch with staff.

Adequate for an overnight pit stop. Staff was excellent. Our room was small (but big enough) and somewhat awkward. It, along with one other room, was located in the building next door. The room came complete with not one but TWO tiny sinks. One (minuscule) was located appropriately in the bathroom and the other (very small) outside the bathroom. That said, we slept great and were very comfortable. The breakfast, served in the lobby… next door…was very nice. Perfectly fine, as I said, for our needs.
