Highlights

Location: Historic Grindel district

Rooms: two first-class rooms

Dining: On-site Café Leonar

Accessibility: Personalized service and environment

“The location is excellent. I noted the attention to detail inside, especially the welcome drinks and high-quality toiletries, yet it feels more like a self-catering apartment than a traditional hotel; check-in takes place at a nearby cafe. The courtyard setting and quiet environment are definite assets.”
