Positive, I stayed for 2 nights in a Standard Queen Room. The location is prime, just a stroll to the metro and cablecar. Room was modern and spotless, with a comfortable bed and a great bathroom. Ali, the host, was super helpful. Loved the cute rooftop terrace! 😊

Beautiful room with air conditioning and a private bathroom. Big flat-screen TV and complimentary toiletries. The balcony was a lovely touch. Staff was super friendly, always eager to help, and location was perfect, close to shops and cafes. We got plenty of water, which was nice. Just an all-around fun experience!

lack of elevator

narrow staircases

limited dining options

The room I stayed in was clean and well-maintained, with a comfortable bed that ensured decent rest. However, I faced issues with the lack of an elevator, which made navigating the narrow staircases challenging. Additionally, the property's limited dining options were disappointing, as there were no breakfast services available. This hotel might be suitable for short stays, but the lack of amenities could be a concern for those staying longer.

cramped shower

Charming atmosphere with friendly staff and comfortable bed. Perfectly located in an area bustling with cafes and shops. The breathtaking rooftop terrace is a fantastic escape from the city’s vibrancy.

The shower setup felt a bit cramped and could use some attention.
