Rooftop Terrace

About this hotel

Perched on a tranquil hillside, Gerthrudes offers a serene escape with its inviting outdoor pool and expansive rooftop terrace. From this elevated vantage point, the surrounding landscape unfolds, providing a peaceful backdrop for relaxation. Guests gather on the terrace as the day winds down, perhaps enjoying a casual BBQ prepared in the shared kitchen, or simply unwinding with a drink. The ambiance is one of quiet conviviality, where conversations flow easily under the open sky. As evening descends, the city lights begin to twinkle in the distance, creating a gentle glow that complements the starlit heavens. The terrace becomes a favored spot for those seeking a moment of calm, far from the urban bustle, yet close enough to appreciate the city's allure. The outdoor pool, set against this scenic backdrop, offers a refreshing dip at any hour, making the most of the hillside setting.

Our take

Gerthrudes is ideal for travelers seeking a relaxed, home-like atmosphere with the added benefit of a panoramic rooftop terrace and an outdoor pool. It suits couples or small groups who appreciate a tranquil setting and enjoy self-catering options like the shared kitchen and BBQ facilities. Those looking for a bustling, central city hotel with immediate access to major landmarks might find its hillside location a bit removed, though taxis make attractions accessible.

  • ✓Head to the rooftop terrace in the late afternoon to catch the golden hour light over the hills.
  • ✓Make use of the shared kitchen and BBQ facilities for a relaxed evening meal on the terrace.
  • ✓Consider a morning swim in the outdoor pool before the day heats up, enjoying the quiet hillside views.

Why we love it

  • Outdoor pool for refreshing dips
  • Relaxed hillside B&B atmosphere
  • Shared kitchen and BBQ facilities
Why guests love it

Five friends on a shared holiday booked Gerthrudes because the shared kitchen and BBQ let them cook together most nights. Afternoons went to the outdoor pool; evenings started on the panoramic rooftop terrace, watching the view over the surrounding area fade while someone tended the grill. The hillside B&B felt homely, with air-conditioned rooms for the hot nights. The slope makes walking to the main landmarks less convenient, so plan rides for sightseeing days.
