§ The front desk · Questions asked most
Asked at the desk.
The answers we give most often, written down so you can read them before you ring the bell.
Arriving
What time can I check in?
From 15:00. If your room is ready earlier, the desk will hand you the key earlier. Bags can wait behind the desk from 08:00.
Is the desk really open all night?
Yes. Somebody sits at the desk from 07:00 to 07:00. Ring the brass bell if they have stepped into the back.
Can I arrive by bicycle?
Please do. There is covered parking for six bikes in the courtyard.
The rooms
Do the keys really open the doors?
They do. Each lock was refitted for the original-style keys. Leave it at the desk when you go out, as the printers did.
Are the rooms quiet?
The walls are 1931 brick, roughly half a metre thick. Street rooms have double glazing behind the old frames.
Can I choose my room number?
Yes. Ask for any key on the board and we will hold it if the hook is free.
Everything else
Do you allow dogs?
Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the ground floor rooms, No. 01 and No. 02. We keep a bowl at the desk.
Is breakfast included?
Always. The counter is open from 07:00 to 11:00, and coffee is on until the evening.
Do you take events?
The press hall and the courtyard can be booked for small dinners of up to twenty-four people.
