Not the warmest of welcomes. Lots of rules greeted us. Walking distance to Jonker street

It’s a great place to relax. It’s near the historical area and within walking distance to malls. There few guests and makes this place great to get away from the hustle and bustle.

Loved the cool and unusual style of this hotel, in a great spot, nice and quiet yet only a short stroll to the centre. Great rooms, good showers and comfy beds. Really liked that they had a water machine in reception. So handy for refilling bottles and kettles and saving single use plastic, excellent hotel and so much nicer than big impersonal hotels.

Noisy
Posted 13 Jan 2023 on HotelsStayed two nights. At 2:00 a.m. on the second night, some people came in who were talking loudly. As far as I know, the hotel employee did not do anything to quiet them down. He was talking loudly also. The front desk is near my room. After 15 minutes, someone from another room opened their door and told the people to be quiet.

Like the uniqueness of design of hotel and rooms.
Needs more lightings in the room on the 1st floor. A little too dark for my liking.
Also, if possible, more parking for the guests. Otherwise, guests will be fighting for the parking lots outside of the hotel.
