The hotel is in a convenient location close to the tram station. The rooms have a pleasant view of the alleyway and are spacious with comfortable beds. However, noise could be an issue. The service is pricey but offers helpful amenities like car hire and tours. The dining options are limited, and the pancake platter is worth trying. The hotel facilities are basic but functional.

The hotel was overpriced and did not meet my expectations. The room had a nice view but was uncomfortable. The noise was unbearable, and I won't be returning or recommending it to anyone.

5.0/10

The hotel is definitely in a challenging location, right in the heart of the action, and there are some nice moments, like views of the alluring city. Despite the room's imperfections, I found some charm in the quaint kitchenette. However, the overpowering smell from the alleyway tainted the experience. The service left me feeling disappointed and unlikely to return for the price I paid. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.
