Since we didn't arriveuntil midnight, we were very happy that someone was there to let us in. Since we stayed only day, it's probably not fair for us to try and rate this hotel. It served our need and I would recommend the hotel to anyone.

9.8/10 Exceptional! (216 reviews)
I loved this unique boutique hotel. My room was technically quite small, but designed in an interesting and fun way. There was a longish corridor upon entering lined with things like a safe, some storage area, the refrigerator etc, and a small desk. The short corridor ended in a larger area taken up almost entirely by the bed, which itself had some extra drawers, counters, and niches to help with storage and organization. To the side a small bathroom, but one with a large shower with excellent water pressure. The dark decor was very attractive. The room had a small balcony. While not large, I was totally comfortable, and I really enjoyed all my time in the room. Breakfast is served in the library and bar-like lobby in two shifts features a cold buffet and hot items from a menu. The hotel is on a pedestrian street in an old characterful building in the old city, very close to one of the most significant churches and the river, a very pleasant 30 minute or so stroll to the Guggenheim. I highly recommend this delightful , one of a kind hotel.
