The hotel is perfectly situated in the old town, but in the summer you need to think twice before staying there. We were on the third floor which is essentially the fourth floor and it was possibly hot at night. There is no air conditioning and there was no good way to get Crossbreeze in the room.

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.

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.

Very, very small room and bathroom with outdated style bed.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.

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.

There is better hotels in town.

It’s nice located hotel with interior 1980’s look. I was on fifth floor, need to wait for hot water at least 5 minutes. First day I didn’t know so came out without shower. It’s not for what I have paid.
