The location is good, but the Hotel is very noisy. Around 5pm to 11 pm, there was a continuous music playing under our room ang the boom boom of the base was very annoying. They must know this is a problem because they give you earplugs but these do not help. Other than that, an adequate stay.

A charming boutique hotel with a lovely staff in a great location. People should know there is no elevator ( tho the staff was very helpful with our suitcases). Some design flaws in our room: you have to walk thru the shower to get to the toilet (potentially slippery ), overhead nightlights high up and hard to reach the switch, interior steps in the room that require attentive walking. No closet or drawer space. One side of the bed (very comfortable otherwise) against the wall. Overall chic, welcoming, but some impractical features in the rooms.
