The building is beautiful and interesting. Room is clean and bed is very comfortable. Breakfast area is super cute.
Everything was very nice. Be aware some rooms are reached by stairs only.

Location was very good. Lovely historic building
The car parking charge of 35 Euros was high
Breakfast cost 25 Euros each and it was the worst breakfast I have encountered in a hotel. The chafing dishes had not been switched on and the eggs, sausages were ice cold. They turned them on when I informed them. I cannot believe 1.5 hours into service, no-one else had complained.
If you want a drink in the bar at night, you have to go fetch the staff from reception.
Rooms had no information in them about the city, but very clear on what you will be charged if you take a towel, cushion or plant

Location and the church setting. 4 beds with 2 being accessible by stairs for kids made it exciting

This is my fourth stay. I am so in love with this hotel I wish I could live there. I especially love the Slot wing with its antique flavor. The wood floor, the old furniture, the tall windows, the portraits of the nuns, even small things like the old-fashioned key and the smell of antique wood. I hope you never, ever change it, as I was worried when I heard there were renovations.
There's a lovely chapel that has been repurposed as an events room. It is a treasure of historical art with its sculptures and stain-glass windows.
The breakfast is delicious and plentiful.
There is nothing I didn't like. We had some internet hiccups, but they were fixed and the beautiful room was worth the trouble.
One small suggestion: I notice you don't have beans every day for breakfast, but they are delicious and a great alternative for vegetarians. I enjoyed them on the days you had them. And thank you for the gluten-free bread!

Beautiful historic building, large room, lovely exterior, nice cafe staff; comfy beds, very clean
Off-putting front desk staff especially the ‘technician’; lukewarm water and no working WiFi which was needed for working; water was fixed on second day (thankfully for a hot shower); person kept saying WiFi was fixed but it was not. No working phone to reception (reported and not fixed); $25 breakfast— too expensive for little warm choices)

Third time staying here. I love this hotel. See my previous reviews!
Very sad that the Slot wing is being torn down to create more modern rooms. Those ancient rooms with modern comfort were magical and the reason I kept coming back.

We liked that the building was a renovated monastery. It added so much charm to our stay. The room was very clean. large and comfy. Breakfast was great! The staff were very friendly, and they had tasty, freshly made, cool tea at the hotel's entrance for everyone to drink.
Liked everything!

Ground floor with traffic and pedestrians just outside our window, so we had to pull curtains closed at all times

Disappointing
Based on positive reviews we booked this hotel. The location was good.
We were initially given a room that was obviously not cleaned. See photos. Sheets wrinkled, comforter messed, scrunched pillows and the receptionist kept assuring us it was cleaned. Finally were given an alternate room that was clean but the low beam in the middle of the room made us tie a big sweater around it in fear of knocking ourselves out in the middle of the night. Overall not great. Disappointing as we really wanted to love this place.

The location was excellent. Just a few minutes walk from the city tram stop and close to all the touristy spots. We stayed in a family style room which had two rooms and it was cozy and clean.

The most important for me was location and unique look and experience. The room was very small, but it was clean and surprisingly warm. I liked the extraordinary decor and atmosphere. The bonus was TV on different languages.

Very unique setting and great location. Our room was very spacious and clean. Great historic old building worth checking out. The staff was very nice. We were able to park earlier in the day when we arrived as check in is not until 4pm.
Beware that parking is limited and costs €25. We knew the cost ahead of time but most of the spaces were reserved when we were parking.

Great location and the staff was very helpful and they were able to hold our luggage early. They will be 100 % recommend.
The beds are 2 twins put together and my husband felt through the middle.

Very friendly staff!!
The bed were big but two twin beds, I would have preferred a single top mattress at least.
Hot breakfast was not great. over cooked egg and under cooked bacon.

It’s an amazing property. There was a front desk person in the morning who was very friendly and helpful.
We would have loved to have had a little later checkout, but they charge extra for that. And €25 for an extra hour so as to not rush doesn’t seem worth it.
Thank you for your information!
