“Rock 'n' roll infuses every corner of this quirky hotel, a theme that extends from the decor to the overall vibe. While the steep, narrow stairs and lack of an elevator might pose a challenge, the friendly staff and comfortable beds create a welcoming atmosphere, and its proximity to local attractions and the Melkweg adds to the appeal. It's a memorable spot for those who appreciate a unique aesthetic and don't mind trading some modern conveniences for character.”
