10/10 Exceptional

The location was absolutely perfect, right in the city center and close to many restaurants and bars. Upon arrival they directed us to a parking ramp and gave us a discount ticket for when we left to cover some of the cost. We parked overnight and it was only 11 euro. We did not have any issues with noise and room was very comfortable.

All the staff where unbelievably helpful and welcoming. The location is superb, and as we were staying there with a 1 year old, everything was so close by. Tad noisy yes, but we knew it would be, and they put us on the third floor, so it was grand. Staff couldn't have been kinder to us and our son, so we'll definitely be back

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay- booked 2 rooms, 1 for myself and my husband and 1 for my 18-year-old daughter. The retro-funky styling of the rooms was a plus, in the very centre of the city's main street of pubs, restaurants and shops. The staff were super friendly at check-in and check-out. Parking is about a 5 mins walk, no place to pull up and drop your stuff off, so if you do have mobility issues, not sure if it might not be the place for you- might want to contact the hotel. Even though you are right in the middle of the hustle and bussle it was still very quiet. Would definitely recommend for anyone staying in the area and wants to walk the area

The hotel is located above a bar that has live music. If you're looking to get a good nights sleep before 2am, I'd recommend staying somewhere else. Good walk to all location and clean/newer rooms.

6/10 Good

Extremely well located and reasonably priced. Read previous reviews and brought ear plugs for the music and nightlife downstairs, but they didn’t help much with the slammed doors and loud chatter of other guests in the early hours. That said, we knew it was a vibrant location with lots of late activities so it wasn’t unexpected! The heat in the room wasn’t working so they needed to bring up the space heater, and did so right away which was quite convenient. One of the mattresses in our triple room had a major dent but we were just two people so the other two beds sufficed.
