The sink drain doesn't work. There's a pest trap in my room. The "shuttle service" is essentially you paying for a cab. The internet is choppy at best and the ownership will find a way to justify it based on the hotel's low rate. Enjoy your stay! :)

Calm location but old and very steep stairs

Positives: The staff was incredibly kind. The price was not bad, and the hotel is easy walking distance to some of the big museums.
Negatives: You can definitely tell that this hotel is an older building. Although the furniture seems new enough, it also seems like the owners have not put enough money into the building's maintenance. The carpet is old, and in our non smoking room, it, and the drapes, reeked off a musty old cigarette smell that set off my allergies.
The plumbing was also bad in our shower, which was built with no ledge or anything to catch access water. The drain was very slow and backed up and with no separation between the shower floor and the rest of the bathroom floor, the whole room flooded during any shower that lasted more than a minute. Even turning the water off while shampooing my hair, etc, the bathroom still flooded each time. A water line on the bathroom door told me that this may be a common problem here. We let the front desk know about the flooding and they seemed surprised, but as far as we can tell, no actions were taken to fix it.
The sheets and duvet on my mattress were slightly stained. There also seemed to be a small blood stain on the curtains which gave me pause.
Other things to note: breakfast and Wi-Fi are not included. The Wi-Fi was about 3 euros a day. For Americans used to hotels with A.C., note that you will not find that here. We slept with the windows open, but you can hear the church bells ringing all night down the street.
In summary, if you are planning to spend much time at all in the room, have allergies, or are fastidious, this might not be the place for you. If you are on a budget and aren't planning to spend much time in the hotel, then this place is alright.

Nice hotel - nothing fancy, but good prices, clean rooms and a calm environment. Staff is super friendly.
