Great Music-Themed Stay!

I really appreciated the friendly and helpful staff. The hotel offers free coffee, a nice bonus. I found the location very convenient for getting around the city (easy access to local attractions).

The noise from the hallway was sometimes disruptive.

steep stairs shared bathroom

the staff was quite helpful. it helped me a lot locating the closest supermarket.

The stairs were steep. the shared bathroom situation wasn't ideal either. It felt a bit cramped and not as clean as i'd hoped. plus, i could hear every little noise from the hallway.

decent stay with a few drawbacks

perfect location great value friendly staff steep stairs superficial cleanliness bug bites

the location is unbeatable. it is close to many attractions, and i walked everywhere. breakfast offered great value too. the staff was super friendly and helpful!

the stairs were steep. i struggled with my luggage going up to the room. cleanliness in my room was just superficial. i noticed some bug bites after my first night, so i guess the mattress needs better attention.
