About

The hotel is adults-only and welcomes pets, offering a quiet, refined base. The suites are modern and spacious, with kitchenettes, separate sitting areas, and some with balconies or bathtubs. The on-site bar-restaurant serves meals and drinks, and the staff earns consistent praise for friendly, efficient service.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking mentioned — The hotel does not list parking among its amenities, so guests arriving by car may need to arrange parking nearby.
- Adults-only policy — The hotel is adults-only, so it's not suitable for families traveling with children.
- Check-in limited to specific hours — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 23:30, which could be inconvenient for late-night arrivals.
- Mixed feedback on some aspects — While most reviews are positive, a few guests gave lower ratings for general experience, possibly due to the older building or noise from the lively area.
