Bathroom shower not clean, black mold around the shower wall. Breakfast supposed to be available at extra cost, claims to be a restaurant but not even a coffee available on the day we left. ##### Diane Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Abeer 21 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The facilities are very limited and the staff response is very slow. However, when they support, they are very nice and kind. More attention shall be given to the cleanliness of the rooms and mainly the toilets. ##### Abeer Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jane 15 Jul 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness #### The people made it worth it. It’s an old hotel and not the cleanest we’ve stayed in. The AC leaked but did the job well enough and the water pressure was variable. Breakfast was simple but a nice bonus. The location is great and the cost is reasonable. Both the terrace upstairs and the back garden were nice additions. The people who work here are what made it worthwhile for us- super friendly, helpful and kind. ##### Jane Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Svenja 1 Jun 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Schmutziges und kaputtes Bettlaken, schmutzige Dusche, teilweise kein Wasser, extrem hellhörig und laut.

It’s walking distance to everything you need when exploring. The free breakfast was a nice added touch. The staff were great and we enjoyed our stay. If you have mobility issues - this is not the place for you as there is no elevator. The rooms are small but you get what you pay for. We would stay here again. ##### Miranda Stayed 5 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nihad 8 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice place, quiet and close to all amnesties I enjoyed staying at this hotel, the staff is very nice and helpful. When I got there I was tired and my room is not ready yet so they offered me the big family room for no extra charge. That was very nice. The location is very good it’s close to all the public places. I enjoyed staying here and will definitely come back. Thank you Hotel staff ##### Nihad Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Apr 2021 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Recommendation of the hotel I liked the hotel. It was cosy and nice. Quiet, nice view to the historical green wall with birds that sing.. only the room was very tide, small size and cleaning stuff was a bit noisy in the morning, plus, be careful with the breakfast - guess it wasnt vry fresh, i got intoxicated...But in summary, according to the price/quality, I would recommend this 🏩.. though i saw they topped up the price now.. so u think?.. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hasan 3 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### sehr schön Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Personal ##### Hasan Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### burçin 9 Mar 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Butik otel kaderi Butik otellerin en basarisizi.
