Great for no frills with beautiful room.

Everything was excellent, but it’s very no frills. No amenities apart from a small roof terrace. We were barely there, and the time we did spend was very good because the room was so nice. Small, but very nice.

Great stay - smallish room, but fine for a single person. Bed was really comfortable and a nice selection of pillows - I need firm pillows and rarely get them in a hotel. Very quiet at night. Nice to have a coffee shop next door!

Check in person was direct, friendly, anticipatory, and welcoming. Room was clean, nicely designed, building cute! I don’t know why more hotels aren’t like this - high quality, slightly small but just what you need for sleeping/spending a little time in the room. I will book again, excellent value.
