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. All together I had a great stay at Medusa Hotel and would fully recommend.

Loved the interior of the hotel ( although the style was in need of some updating), overall very comfortable. I was in a large room on the ground floor. Be aware that it’s an old building with creeks and noises so ear plugs if you are sensitive. The staff were friendly and helpful and the position was perfect.
