A very clean room, much larger than expected and high ceiling. Staff were very helpful and friendly and there’s bars, market and restaurants right across the road. And as advertised it is smack in the middle of the Jewish Quater

Beautiful little Hotel, clean tidy and nicely decorated, Their restaurant was good and reasonably priced but Hotel is also close to lots of other good places to eat, 20 minute walk from the old town, and just an 8 minute walk to the closest train station, would definitely stay again

We stayed here for a festive family break over Christmas. This was the perfect hotel venue as we were booked into a family room from the day of the booking so there were no unexpected surprises. This was a great and enjoyable stay!

Have always stayed nearer the old town before but this area is better for food and drink. Breakfast too pricey so didn't bother but plenty nearby. Room was modern and clean but if you're there for a weekend try and avoid the ground floor. Taxi rank right outside and, lots of places open until the wee hours and the windows aren't soundproofed. Friday night was our last night and noticed such a difference! Staff were generally great and friendly.
