The decor of the hotel exudes an artsy vibe, with the dark color pallet helping to dampen the extended hours of daylight during summer, allowing for better sleep. The location was perfect for walking to many nearby tourist sites.

The location was amazing. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only complaint was the lighting in the room or lack of. It was very dark but it did add to the atmosphere of the hotel. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends and family!
