A great overnight stop. We had a basic double with breakfast and it was perfect for our needs. The room and bathroom were small but spotless and breakfast was plentiful. One tip if using public transport from the station, use 132 or 133 buses as they are more frequent and stop closest to hotel.

A beautiful historic hotel with lots of character and an excellent location. The old building has lovely original details, high ceilings, dark wooden features and stained glass, which gives it a really special atmosphere. The rooms are a little dated, but this is clearly shown in the photos. The bed was comfortable, the shower was clean and worked perfectly, and everything I needed was there. Breakfast was included and was absolutely fine, with a good selection of bread, cheese, cold meats, yoghurt, eggs, vegetables, coffee and tea. I paid €263 for five nights, including breakfast, which is excellent value for money, especially for such a central location. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay and really enjoyed the variety on the breakfast spread each morning. Our room was quite spacious although the bathroom was tricky to access due to a broken door. The listing said air conditioning which we were hoping for as we arrived at the beginning of the heat wave but our room did not have AC, we were grateful for the 2 fans provided. The tv service was down and so we were unable to watch the World Cup but were told it was an issue with the service provider during our stay. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to others. The location was great and we enjoyed our time

Historical Hotel: 5-star

I love the medieval vibes of the hotel, and upon research, the hotel has been in service since the 12th century. I love the location and its proximity to public transport and tourist attractions. The staff were also lovely.

Good experience overall. Check in process was quick and easy. The breakfast was very nice as well (everything was fresh and tasty). The staff were friendly and helpful. My room was a good size. Interesting historical building with many artifacts displayed on the walls. The area is quiet, away from the busy streets.

Just spend a night. As we expected, the generous free breakfast is beyond. Very old but bed is clean. Good for budget travelers

Not bad, would stay again if price was right.

Only one lady with light coloured hair and a guy was friendly, the other 3 ladys i met behind reception were very arrogant and not welcoming. Rooms were dated but fine to sleep in! Hotel itself is quite nice. The breakfast was ok not great needs more options.

The place is close enough to the city center and for the train station. It's easy to get by on foot. For the price and the location is a fair service. Don't expect anything fancy, but the rooms are clean, beds confortable and the breakfast is ok to start off your day of visit.

Booked for three nights and stayed one until we found a much nicer hotel. The rooms were very smelly and breakfast was awful. If you don't mind exotic massage shops a sex shop next door and a sex cinema on the other side this may be okay for you.

Modest accommodations

Property photos look much nicer than actual hotel. Hotel felt more like a nice hostel. Located next to exotic shops and cinema. Nice weather during my stay so not having air conditioning was not too big of an issue. Restroom plumbing had a poor smell. Accommodations worked but I think it is overpriced for what you get.
