Just fabulous!

Love the location, the quirkiness, the team and the building. Even though the furniture is now a little tired, it is still much nicer than your standard cookie cutter hotel design. Very welcoming and accommodating. Can’t wait to visit again once refurbished! Thanks Team Medusa for a great stay

The staff was really friendly and forthcoming with any topics. I could arrange an earlier check-in and later check out without any issues. The hotel and room is quite nice and the location is perfect for walking towards the city or any restaurants or supermarkets around the corner.
