Guest Ratings & Reviews
This hotel offers a convenient location close to everything we needed. The rooms provide filtered water down the hall, but the service is lacking. The downstairs bistro adds to the atmosphere, but being on top of a pub can be noisy at times.
The hotel is conveniently located in the city center on top of a pub, close to everything we needed. The rooms offer filtered water down the hall, and the service was commendable. However, the dining experience with traditional dishes was lacking, and the facilities were only average. The value for money was reasonable for the overall stay.
I loved staying at this hotel! The location is not in the city center but on top of a pub, which adds to the unique charm. The rooms are basic but have filtered water down the hall, so that was convenient. The service was top-notch, making me feel like a valued guest. I really enjoyed the Vienna Beef hot dogs at the dining spot, a tasty treat for sure.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, with the downstairs bistro offering such a great atmosphere. It's also close to everything we needed, making exploring the city super convenient. The rooms were cozy and having filtered water down the hall was a nice touch. The service was top-notch, and I couldn't ask for a friendlier staff. The dining experience was delightful, especially the gyudon dishes. The facilities were excellent, providing everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was top-notch. The location was not in the city center but had a cozy bistro downstairs. The dining offered traditional food that was enjoyable. The facilities were good, and overall, it was a good value for money.
This hotel is a hidden gem in the city center, close to everything we needed. Rooms are basic but cozy, and the service is exceptional. However, dining options are limited to artisanal bread, and the facilities are modest.
