The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel was nicely and recently updated and refurbished (it seemed). It was in a great location right next to the university and a nice 10 minute walk to the central square by the river. I'd definitely stay here again.

Perfect if you are visiting the University
The staff are very kind and generous. Parking is very challenging on a narrow street with many hills. It is a simple walk to the famous library and university tourist areas. And the views are lovely. It is challenging to visit other parts of the city from this location. Breakfast was nice, dinner was delicious although the service was slow. There is limited storage for clothes either by hanging or drawers.

Staff was super lovely, room was comfortable and clean. Restaurant was delicious. Great vibe to the place. If your room faces the courtyard you will hear some music until ~11pm. Would definitely stay again. It’s right next to the university (which is a main tourist attraction).
