    Pros +

    • The breakfast was amazing. Simply delicious. You get a cart when you arrive and then you can select whatever you want, and the quality is really good. The orange juice is freshly pressed.
    • Overpriced for what you get.
    • Great location short walk from the train station and a short walk to the festival, the room was gorgeous and quirky and weird and everything was lovely

    Cons -

    • The "Design" part is highly questionable! The vibe is weird, the design choices are pretty bad, and the light switches are positioned in strange locations. The room TV is old and had some image problems.
    • None of the menu QR codes worked, and the staff was mostly absent, however, they were incredibly kind and laid-back about everything.
    • I don’t think anything could have been better!!

    The breakfast was fantastic!! A cute and quirky little hotel located fairly central. There is a parkade on the next street over and the hotel has a special arrangement for a daily 10€ charge with in and out privledges. Street parking is very difficult to find.

    I don’t think anything could have been better!!

    Small hotel which looks after it's guests. Modern interior design that is pleasing to the eye . Proper keys not cards. Friendly, professional staff . Excellent breakfast experience.Big bed.

    Useless room safety deposit box - badly situated, and much too small to hold A4 documents.

    Not the owner

    Dirty, hairs in the bath, horrible smell in our room. We had to battle to have another one. The owner was awful with his employee and with us.

    absolutely interesting design. comfortable bed and great breakfast which you choose the day before, with lots of choice

    can’t think of anything

    Great breakfast! They've asked us about our preferences and we were able to select what we would like to have for breakfast, avoiding food waste and meeting our requests, for example, lactose free milk and gluten free bread. The room was clean and comfy, the staff is really nice and polite. Excellent experience!

    Nothing to complain about! Everything was very nice and we would love to stay there again. We highly recommend this hotel!

    Good for solo travelers. Close to Camino. Friendly staff.

    Interesting design concept. Execution needs some work.

    8MaryPosted on: 10-7-2022

    We loved e everything, the location was fantastic right in middle of the town, walking distance to everywhere. Lots of restaurants around close by, staff were extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgable of the area. Room was clean, spacious and quiet, breakfast was good but could be improved a little, I would highly reccomend.

    Portion sizes very small at breakfast for a man, apart from that there was nothing we did not like.

    8GwynnePosted on: 9-30-2022

    Location was good. Very nice breakfast and staff. Pretty little outdoor courtyard.

    The design of the shower IN THE ROOM (not in the bathroom) was horrible! You could tell that they had multiple problems with water warping the floor all around the shower. It took forever to get hot water - so long that we thought there wasn’t any! We also weren’t crazy about an odd shaped purple platform for the mattress.

    very clean with friendly staff. great location for town. allowed us to check in a bit early (thanks). very stylish breakfast. beautiful entrance. bit of luxury for the Camino.

    a bit of style over substance. and still using Covid as reason not to have breakfast buffet (it had to be pre-ordered the day before). however breakfast was very nice. also a very unusual statement on booking site about having to leave huge deposit in cash. nothing was mentioned about it when we checked in which was good, but did cause us concern before we arrived as we didn’t have that much cash on us.

    9JuanPosted on: 8-26-2022

    We really liked the location of the hotel, you are 10min walk away to almost every important spot of the city. The staff was very kind and helpful. Great breakfast.

    6HelenaPosted on: 8-25-2022

    great location and very unique little hotel

    The room we were which was in the building outsidethe main hotel building has an awful smell, especially in our room however we were moved to a room on thetop floor which was better though the smell was still there

    Nice modern hotel with old world charm exterior. Locate very close to city center easy to walk exploring. Staff very fri

    8MichaelPosted on: 8-3-2022

    I was pleased with the excellent service provided by the two young ladies on the reception desk. They were friendly and provided me with local tourist advice which I appreciated and was very helpful. Furthermore, the quality and quantity of the breakfast was very good.

    9GarthPosted on: 7-27-2022

    we have stayed before- excellent location and helpfull staff. superb breakfast

    sometimes'style over substance-. eg, great bath and shower but nowhere to hang towels

    10EmilyPosted on: 4-29-2022

    It was clean and spacious, the included breakfast is set up in a very smart and convenient way and it was good. The staff are super friendly and spoke English well, the rooms have great privacy and are perfect if you don’t need to spend a lot of time there. the hotel was a five minute walk from the main shopping district and close to many cafes, restaurants and bars.
