Insight Guides
"A stylish little hotel located in a quiet street close to the Astridpark. The nine-room establishment occupies an 18th-century town house furnished in an elegant Louis XV style."
Lonely Planet
"Neat, well-kept and central, this nine-room hotel is owned by a friendly Belgo-Peruvian family. The building is 18th century but complete renovations mean that rooms are mostly international-style." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"A small but attractive hotel, stacked vertically on the narrow footprint of an 18th-century mansion. The rooms are straightforward but pleasant."
Oyster
