Upstairs Hotel

We loved this hotel. While booking and reading about the hotel, we were slightly concerned that it would be a bit too “funky” (we are in our 60s and 70s), but it was definitely a nice place to stay for all ages. First of all, we had requested a low floor room, and the request was well taken into account, which is not the case in all hotels. We had booked a big room and it was really wonderful. The room was nice, with separate bathroom and toilet, and with a wooden (or fake wooden) floor, which we always appreciate. Much cleaner and nicer than all those carpet floors in many places. Reception staff was kind, polite, quick and knowledgeable. Breakfast was outstanding. The bar in the evening was very pleasant. Location is excellent. Some minor points we did not like (and hence the 4 “star” rating) were the following. The mattress was very hard, for us too hard, but some people might like it. The floor in the shower was too slippery, this can easily be avoided by other materials. The shower was already narrow, and with the (unnecessary) soapdish attached to the wall it became even narrower. There was space enough for a larger shower. When we came back to the room after 3 PM, it was still not cleaned (the ”YES” sign to request cleaning was put up before 10 AM). Understandable, because it was a very busy Friday with lots of changes, and a basket was put in front of the door later with new towels etc … All these were minor issues, and we will certainly return to this place.
