Lovely stay!

beautiful decorationhelpful staffcomfortable bedinconsistent pressure
Helga's is an experience! The hotel is beautifully decorated. I spent hours examining paintings, photos, and articles. I met other travelers who came for dinner, they wished they had stayed the night. The staff were friendly and helpful (especially with my bags!). My room was large and the bed was very comfortable.
I noticed that the shower pressure was not consistent. This made showering a little difficult and it did affect my morning routine. I hope they can improve this, so others will not face this issue in future. the stay was still nice.

The manager gave a private tour showing the hotel's unique architecture. I was told about the history and the art covering every wall. Staff showed great warmth and hospitality. I enjoyed the eclectic design of each room.
I noticed the building looks worn in places as some tiles are missing from the room. The wooden chair on the balcony was also uncomfortable and could be updated.
