Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Our room had no air conditioning (despite being advertised as having it), no airflow, and was in the basement next to the breakfast room. Maybe other rooms are better, but this one is unfit for guests. There was also black mold on the ceiling in the bathroom and in the air vents, which is not surprising given how hot and steamy the room was all the time. Yes, the decor is old and the room is small, but it was really the temperature that made it completely unsuitable. I’ve stayed in inexpensive hotels all around the world, but have never had a room as bad as this. It was also advertised as a bike hotel, but only allowed check in after 3 (not simple after a long morning of riding). It also only had bike parking available outside—if we had been on more expensive bikes, this would have been a big concern.

Charming hotel
I read some reviews that say that the hotel is dated. However, I actually like that it has character. It is pretty imo. So it is not exactly like the chain hotels, but has it's own charisma. The hotel is easy to get to, and it's next to police station and fire station (very safe :-)) The front curve stairway is beautiful, but it also means you have to lug the luggage up there. There is a lift, but to access my room, I needed to lug my luggage up the stairs. My room was not accessible by lift. So if you have a heavy luggage/ weak legs, you may not find this hotel appealing. Other then that, the room was clean and comfortable enough. Note though, the shower area is in a bathtub, which you have to climb into. I loved my stay there. I count myself lucky to stay in this charming hotel.

Very clean but oh so small
Clean but oh so small. Twin room could have been the smallest I have ever stayed in, although everything was provided there was almost o room to move around. Bathroom although well equipped was so small with no room to manoeuvre.

If you want to rest, avoid
The room was underground and we could hear everything from outside to our neighbours talking normally in the corridor. The door to the outside corridor (not the main one) did not close properly. We had a few insects coming in. Heard a rat or a cat digging into the trash which were outside by our door. We flagged it to the receptionist in the morning and she said we should have asked someone to chase the rat or cat. Would not recommend for a relax stay.
