Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was kind and helpful. The rooms were cute and cozy with private bathrooms and good heating. The breakfast was nice to have, especially in an expensive city that opens late. The 24 hour access to coffee tea and hot chocolate in the lobby was really comforting to have, especially with jetlag and being awake at odd hours. The location and the hotel felt safe. The only potential downside is that the hotel is on a main street so people walking by constantly are noisy but that didn't bother me.
Really cute room amd cozy. Blackout curtains were a welcome touch.
View from the room. Great location. The church chimes are lovely.
