Very safe. Lots of places to eat and shop.within walking distance.
Room was decent. Location was good (we drove most places, but it seemed that it should have been walkable). I'm old school and didn't like the lack of reception area - we arrived early but there was really no place to store our luggage and the key pad outside was temperamental.

The room was cozy and beautiful. We love it! However, we had a disaster. The bathtub leaked and the water ran into the kitchen. We were shocked and had to dry the place. The staff were helpful. They came to check and relocated us to another room. The repair was done in a short time and we decided to stay in the same room. What a memorable Christmas!

The hotel was clean and close to downtown? About a 10 minute walk.
Everything was great. The room with all amenities, a great kitchen, delicious bed. It is close to the downtown within walking distance. The Brikk coffee shop has delicious coffee, bread and pastries too which is an added bonus. No-one from the hotel on site except the cleaners at times.

Location was great and everything was within walking distance. Plenty of free parking available. Communication for remote entry was easy to follow.
Each room seemed to be different (boutique hotel). The bathroom in our room was extremely small while others was very spacious.
Overall I think the value was good

There was dust EVERYWHERE. One window was left open. The keypad would not work in one go. Parking was available; that was the only plus.

Very comfortable bed. Easy parking. Clean. Good range and quality of kitchen equipment.
Glass door to toilet by bed meant no privacy - not pleasant for either of the room occupants. Nowhere to hang wet coats. Lack of light in kichen area.
Well stocked storage cupboard for paper towels, etc, on ground floor, but not publicised.

This was a great option for recognition. It was very affordable. The room was great. The hotel staff was fantastic. I love the self-service. With no fuss or mus with a front desk. The coffee shop with pastries and freash bread on the first floor was fantastic. It was a great convenience to be able to access the bakery without ha ing to go outside.
Beat possible location to walk into the city and have a good place to park. The room had literally anything you could possibly need!! We will absolutely be booking this place again.

Non-descript lodging in a quiet neighborhood and close to a full-sized grocery store. Easy walk to city center. This place was perfect for a quiet stay after a long flight from US.

Brikk coffee and bakery on street level in the building which is convenient. Walkable to the BSI bus station and main shopping area.
