“This property stands out with its prime location, steps away from shops, bars, and restaurants, making it a vibrant base for exploring the city. Themed rooms add a layer of intrigue, though some may find the basement rooms a bit too dim and musty for extended stays. Despite quirks like low ceilings and unique décor, the option for side-by-side baths creates a memorable touch.”
