Lovely hotel with character. Staff friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast with great choice. Stayed in a wee double but had plenty of room. Just be aware no lift and 3 flights of stairs which wouldn’t suit anyone with mobility issues.
Pleasant walk into old town. Would stay again.

Beautiful room and comfy bed. Great location, close to transportation. Quiet neighborhood. The walls are a little thin and other guests let their doors slam, but not after 8pm. It is an old building. The hotel was thorough in communicating that there is no air or lifts. Even with that, the windows opened and the stairs weren’t that bad. I enjoyed my stay.
