    Be ready that hotel is tiny, has a bit of an “odeur” , but it is typical to old buildings.

    Unusual concept, owners obviously made a great job arranging the design. Liked a lot common living room/bar- chess, cross cross, other games and intellectual entertainment.

    This place blew our minds. If you also dislike the monotone hotels, come and stay here. Full of surprises, fun, great service, Every corner has an interesting bit, the beds were comfy and the staff amazing. We would have loved to stay longer.

    Nothing, enjoyed myself here

    Location. Central to everything and very easy to find. 2 minutes walk to the beach and eateries. Accommodation. Eclectic, each room is themed relating to Spy Characters. I stayed in the Tin Tin room, stayed an extra night and slept in the Nestor Burma room. Breakfast offered and is delicious. Madame Caroline is welcoming and friendly and helpful, as are her staff. Hotel Detective is so interesting and quirky, a peaceful place

    What we liked most about the property was the hostess at the front desk. She was more than helpful. She let us in early to store our luggage and at the end of our trip, she let us store our luggage there until we had to go to catch our bus. She also allowed my daughter to sit in the library to work after we had checked out and before we checked in. Again, the hostess was incredible!

    The weather was a bit wet, but to be expected in the spring. The bus was delayed by 3 hours so our overnight stay was a bit short. Better to stay two nights.

    Clever Detective theme throughout, included a hidden bathroom and disguised television in our room. Lovely staff that offered wonderful suggestions on where to eat and things to do. Extensive breakfast selection in a well-decorated dining room. Didn't get a chance to hang out in the game room, but there were lots of options.

    -> there is no elevator, didnt read that and came with a baby who had lots of stuff

    Breakfast was really excellent: great bread especially, was popular with everyone staying there. The decor is kinda oldish as is the building but it goes with the overall theme of the place. Bathrooms were clean but could use updating. The game room has nice games and great books also.

    My wife got in the room first. When I brought the luggage in the room, she told me there is no toilet in the room! I checked the hallway and there was none there either. Went downstairs to the reception and asked her how come there is no toilet in the room. She said, with a huge smile: “you need to be a better detective”. We did do a better detective job and found another room with a secret entrance. Hotel is filled with so much antique detective furniture, pictures, books, etc. The game room/library downstairs is amazing.

    Room is quite small, which was ok with me but I'd like to have a small table in the room. Nothing much else to say here.

    Nice hotel in the city centre. Offered me a parking spot for my motorcycle in a garage. Free coffee in the dining room, probably tee as well. Wifi was ok to watch Netflix.
