No one was there when I arrived. Doors all locked. Rang bell. Nothing. Luckily someone was coming out and we were able to store luggage. No hair dryer. I didn’t have right outlet converter. They did lend me one!!! Good location and close and walkable for sites!

Thorben, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Old and dirty
While the staff were nice and very helpful , they were battling a building that is old, worn out, and dirty. I have a video of me opening my door with a credit card slipped into the gaping space in the door jamb. Not using the key! The air conditioner was always dripping on the bed and floor and soaked everything which is why it smelled like a swamp. The coffee pot has mold all inside it. Yuck. Cockroaches in bathroom. No lift up 3 flights. Location is fine but this is an old and running brewery pub downstairs. Smells like it. Keep the air conditioner off, open the windows and spray for bugs if you stay here. No paid parking either. Price was great though but we still left early. Not for normal travelers.

It was a lovely old pub. Our room was on the third floor up six flights of steps with a heavy suitcase we are in our 60’s the staff didn’t offer to help. Food and beer was excellent

Sam, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I loved the restaurant and brewery, and the location was great. Staff were very friendly and courteous. The rooms themselves are very basic and plain, but it served its purpose and we liked the price. I’d definitely stay there again for an affordable night’s rest.
