Location was fantastic - so many great things (museums, restaurants, cafes, bars, historical sites) that were less than a 10-minute walk away. Hotel was cute, room was comfortable, and the hot chocolate station in the lobby was an unexpected delight

The location was fantastic. The room was clean, small but all that we needed. Shower was great. Breakfast was okay--we chose to go to Eggscellent for breakfast day two and totally enjoyed that. All in all, we give it an excellent review.
