    welcoming staff
    unique atmosphere
    low ceiling
    limited breakfast
    minibar deposit

    Atmospheric hotel located near key attractions with welcoming staff. The curved dining room, dating back to the 1370s, offers a unique vibe. Rooms come with large windows, though mine had a low ceiling, which limited space. Breakfast featured rotating options, but the orange juice was more of a flavoring than the real thing. A €50 deposit upon arrival was taken for the minibar, which felt a bit excessive.

    friendly staff
    impressive breakfast
    cramped room
    modern amenities
    limited toiletries

    The stay offered a fantastic location right next to famous landmarks, making it easy to explore the charming area. Friendly and helpful staff ensured a warm reception and a comfortable atmosphere. The breakfast was impressive, with a wide selection including hot dishes like bacon and eggs, as well as a variety of vegetables. However, the room was a bit cramped, and the bathroom amenities could have been more modern. The lack of extra toiletries was also a minor drawback.

    Positive, The location was perfect, only a 10-minute walk to attractions. Breakfast was superb with a variety of options, including hot dishes. The staff were super friendly and helpful, welcoming us at midnight after a flight delay. My room was clean, warm, and comfortable with a lovely ensuite. 👍

    Great spot in the old town

    I stayed 1 night and loved the mini-bar in my room and the heated bathroom floors were a nice touch! The vibe of the building was super historical, and it was so close to everything in the old town. It could've been warmer at night, though. They really should add extra blankets for guests.

    missing kettle

    I loved the breakfast variety and the cozy vibe in the dining area! The room was small yet comfy, perfect for a couple. A kettle would have been nice, though.

    great breakfast
    noisy room

    We loved the hotel’s unique charm set right next to Fat Margaret Tower. Breakfast was a hit, too.

    My wife says that the noise from the pipes was disruptive.

    breakfast selection

    I stayed in a Comfort Double room at Rija for a business trip. The room was spacious and clean, with a comfy bed that made for a good night's sleep. I also appreciated the convenient location, just a 10-minute walk to the center of the old town, and easy access to public transportation. The breakfast provided was adequate, offering a variety of options that helped kickstart my day.

    The breakfast selection could be more comprehensive.
