A diamond in the rough.
The front of the hotel is very modern looking, which is disappointing because the part of the city it is in has an old feel about it. When you walk in the staff are very friendly and checking in is really fast and efficient. We had a room with a canal view and the quality of the room was fantastic. The building it occupies was clearly an old warehouse and they have done a lot to make it charming and authentic. The timber in the high ceiling is exposed, and they have done a lot of work with the decor. There are charming metal poles (obviously in their existing support places) holding up the ceiling, just adding to the warehouse feel. The rooms are cleaned daily and are well maintained. There is a sauna which is available to use for a fee. We did not eat at the hotel. Hotel food trends to carry a small premium, EUR22pp for breakfast is not cheap and there are many eateries near by where you can taste the local cuisine for less.

4/10 Fair

Room was not as advertised.
Booked a room with a double and two singles, but got downgraded to a room with just a double. The hotel management were rude and did not sort the issue and refused a partial refund for the difference between the more expensive room and the cheaper room they provided. Apparently we "should have been grateful for the amazing rate we got" . 😂😂😂.
