  • Parking - There is no parking at the hotel, but they rent a few parking spaces in a garage not far from the hotel. Located in a narrow side street, the garage is a bit difficult to find for the first time.

Beautiful upscale hotel

Amazing property offering excellent 5-star services and rooms. It is located right on the canal and across from St. Nicholas Cathedral. Easy walk to everything

  • It is located right downtown across from the cathedral with trolleys passing by constantly and music from street establishments. Earplugs are provided though and worth using.

  • All perfect! The name on Booking.com is strangely Porter’s House. However, it's called Post Hotel 1889, so we had some trouble finding the entrance.
