Neiburgs Hotel

Neiburgs Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Ice large room with kitchenette. Nice beds and bath. Hotel is well-located on old town near many sites of interest. Bolt would not take us to the door in the cobbled old town, so we had to schlep our bags the last few blocks. Have the hotel call a cab and pay more to leave, or find out where the Bolts and Ubers will pick up."

"The staff were fabulous and the highlight of this hotel, beautiful historic property in a great location Bed was comfortable, breakfast had great and plentiful options. Washroom was horrible. Shower /bathtub was so thin a hairbrush barely fits in the width of it at the front. Had to shower sideways. Handheld clip broken so needed to lay it on the floor of the tub to wash then pick it up after. Large faucet/handheld/rainfall shower head multifunction controls confusing to use."
