We enjoyed location and in-house restaurant. Very freindly welcome. Quirky rambling hotel but even allowing for this felt tired. Poor quality breakfast.

The CRU hotel is truly unique. With no elevator and plenty of stairs, I wouldn’t recommend it for those seeking a fully accessible hotel or those who travel with heavy/large luggage. The multi-hallway journey to our room was really interesting and created a fairy tale feeling 😀.
Being an older hotel the walls are quite thin.
The location in Old Town is great for exploring the area within walking distance.

The hotel is well located and the staff are very friendly. The breakfast was very good. But it is loud at night due to the restaurant in the same building. The shower was really dirty.

Exactly as promised. Fantastic location and everything you need. Shower was great especially given the age of building. Winding corridors and steps as others mention but I agree that adds to charm. All my interactions with staff were great but you don’t really interact with anyone much beyond check in - it is only small so is set up to be efficient (no 24hr reception, breakfast is a buffet for all guests). It was warm when I was there so they added a fan to my room, but if AC important you might want to consider that.

This hotel was quite unique.
Our room was the furthest from the entry dure to a rabbit-warren of corridors, that seemed to be dug through an old wall. Do not mistake this for a complaint. It added to the charm.
The long walk was reqwarded by a good-sized, well appointed room wfor the price.
Also a good breakfast laid on the the price.

I needed a desk to work while staying here and there was not one in the room. The staff very kindly let me use a table in their wonderful restaurant before opening time, arguably the nicest space I've ever worked in. Thank you - I world definitely stay here again.

Great location
Great location in a fascinating city. The hotel is several very old buildings connected with little corridors. Our room was quirky very clean and comfortable. Staff were helpful.
We ate in the restaurant one night, interesting food, maybe too many odd things brought together on the same plate.

Enjoyable stay in great location.
A really nice character hotel in the heart of the Old Town. The room was lovely, comfortable bed and lovely pillows, large room with fridge and kettle. Large TV. and sofa area. Only a couple of small things prevent me giving this 5 stars. Firstly there was no air-con which is not surprising as it was an old building. There were windows front and back to let air through but unfortunately this meant there was a lot of noise from the street and from the restaurant courtyard at the back. So I wouldn’t recommend this if you want a really quiet room. The bathroom was large with a powerful shower over the large bath - but there was no screen so the floor got wet. There was a rubber mat over a central drain in the floor - to stop smells from the drains but this was very slippery if you accidentally stepped on it. Might be quite dangerous.
The breakfast was very good although limited hot choices. But overall we enjoyed our stay at the Cru.

Character and perfect location
We had a lovely large room with sitting area which was very comfortable. We could sleep with open windows with very little street noise despite being located right in the old town. Easy access to all of the sights and experiences.
Breakfast was fresh and constantly replenished, perfect start to the day.

A definite DON’T recommend. There was no soap in the shower dispenser or at sink. Zero soap. Old towels and only 2 towels in room. No hand towel etc. cheap management. There was one outlet for charging an electronic FAR from bed! There was NO information sheet next to phone so how do you reach reception to ask for soap. All numbers and buttons I chose didn’t work. Some staff are friendly but the female was judgmental and off putting. The hotel needs outlets in room and cleaning is lacking. Soap! Come on. The rooms are outdated.
