Leonardo Boutique Museumhotel
Bathroom was tiny and room was cold with no way to set the heat. It was also noisy. And had to pull my luggage through 3 doors to get to my room. On the upside, it was clean and everything worked well. Bed was comfortable. And a great location.

The location was central and easy to get to - a key requirement for a short stay. Nice cafe room though. Breakfast was not included in our rate but coffee and tea were available. Comfortable seating area. The front desk staff at both check in and out were great. No problem leaving and retrieving ...

Not the cleanest place I've stayed in. Feels like a hostel too as you can hear your neighbors loud and clear. The location is great though to my taste and staff members are very nice.
