Great Location but quite expensive
Pros:

Aesthetic is absolutely unique. It's quirky in the best way. Walking in felt like entering an opera theatre, with dim lighting and soft velvety walls that gives the space a luxurious intimate feel. Poster-bed was quite nice. Great location as well within the Old Town

Cons:

However, the room was quite dusty and stuffy due to the design i guess. I couldnt control the room temperature and it was very cold at night. Despite asking the reception for assistance, the room didnt warm up, which made it diffidult to sleep. No restaurant, just a small bar/reception with three or four tables. Overall it was expensive and not what I expected. Nevertheless I did enjoy the aesthetic.
