Overall, it is a nice hotel and it is located close to bars and restaurants. The downside is that there are no elevators, but the hotel only has three floors.

Clean, aesthetic and central for a weekend break.
Staff couldn't be friendlier on check in and check out. Room and hotel as a whole was kept to a high finish, minimal wear and tear and very clean. It felt very luxurious, nice places to sit in the evening, super comfy bed. Cant comment on food but I would recommend The Place/ stay there again
