Time Out "This simple, modern property prides itself on being organic, from the eco-friendly lights to energy use from renewable sources; even the breakfast focuses on zero-mile foods. " Full review
Frommer's "This fab little “organic city hotel” housed in a brightly colored villa from the 1920s is all a budget hotel should be: small and pristine, with a miniscule bar and breakfast room" Full review
