The hotel was a unique, historical building and different from your standard fare. It is worth noting that the walls and floors were damaged though. The hotel is a few stops on the tram to the centre of the city. There are restaurants, shops and delis all close to the hotel. Whilst the quirky room had decent, working and free internet, it did not make up for how dirty the room was overall. The staff are sometimes helpful and sweet but forget to finish tasks and can be unfriendly at times. The hotel restaurant has a nice choice of wines but the meals cost a bit too much. It was ok. There is a very nice fish shop in the mall though. This hotel is unfortunately really expensive especially when compared to the performance of the hotel.
Other reviews already pointed out some of the unusual features of this hotel, which is located on the quiet water front close to the cruise ship terminal, an ideal location for an overnight stay before and after the cruise. The staff was friendly & helpful. Internet in the room was free and worked without any problem. The restaurant downstairs, with a good choice of wine by the glass, served tasty but pricey meals. However, there are several restaurants, grocery stores and deli shops in the neighbourhood frequented by the locals. One fish shop in the mall down the street, with a long queue at lunch hour, served a variety of seafood take-outs at reasonable prices, and the herring I tried that day was probably as good as it can be. For those who are health conscious, a morning stroll/jog along the water front would definitely help to kick off the day in the right mood.

Firstly the good thing about the hotel is cultural and clean, but it doesn't really feel much like a hotel, instead, a B&B. The overall service is just fair, we booked it in advance through zuji, but when we arrived, they had no record and we need to wait for an hour for checking in. In the first day out, we left the wallets inside a luggage which is locked. Of course it may be not wise to do it, but it was too late when we found 300 euro was gone when we back while everything seems fine in the appearance. Probably it was stolen by the clean-up staff. We were very disappointed with this hotel and would not recommend to travelers.

This is an unusual hotel, different from the normal run of the mill. I had a large and comfortable room, minimalist design which actually turned out to be quite relaxing! Its a few stops on the tram from the city, the road is reasonably quiet. The tram stop is close by, as is the canal hopper service. If you like design, or want to try something different then this might be for you.

I was there for 4 days. So all i have to say is that all we got were damaged walls and floors. the rooms are very manky. The toilets and showers were separately, but they were usually too dirty. The service often forget to finish their work. Only the location was good, there is a tram directly to the near Central Train Station

I did enjoy the stay, I will list the pros and the cons Pro -nice price -close to the trams -helpful staff -sweet to be able to order food in the middle of the night (it was possible in the hotel) -cool rooms cons -It was to far away from the city center to be able to walk.

The concept of having 1* to 5* rooms is great. Translation is another thing though because the service does not span that range. Definitely quirky rooms but many have an open toilet, which is fine if you are single occupant. Restaurant not great.
