Very Centrale placed- good, clean accommodation with stunning roof top views. Some decor a little tired and right within busy area so expect some noise from bars located nearby in the evening. Recommend staying for comfortable short term stay. You also get a free public transport pass for the duration of your stay which was invaluable. Thank you.

This hotel is across the street from a pub that played extremely loud music and it was like a rave until 3:15 Am. There is also no air conditioning and so the windows had to stay open. We did not sleep at all it was so loud. Also our room looked nothing like the pictures posted on Expedia and there was a bald light bulb in our room and a hole in the wall

walking distance from the metro station, which is great as it was raining all the week. the coffee salon is open all day which is great if you don't feel like working from your room.

Our small family of three stayed here for one night. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, and let my husband and son hang out after check out while I searched for cough medicine. Location is terrific if you like cities! We had a wonderful dinner at a nearby Eritrean restaurant and walked to L’Hermitage museum the next day. It’s not a luxurious space but that’s not the charm. We loved it and would stay there again.

Central location was good. Car parking available means there is à public car park nearby. Taking a shower was an experience, one of those shower curtains that attacks you as soon as you get in. Water everywhere that I had to soak up with towels.

No air conditioning, just a broken fan. Not adapted for a summer stay. Staff at check in unfriendly and incompetent.

Very, very small room and bathroom with outdated style bed. No airconditoner. When you open the window for some air during summer, you hear loud people down below singing and talking until 3 am from a Cafe/ restaurant across. Then by 9 am was the loud ringing of the church bell every 15 minutes for few hours. Parking is about 3-4 blocks away if you have a car. Hotel lobby is very tiny. Location is just few steps from McDonald’s.
