This is a great hotel, right in the centre of the city. Within walking distance of all the sights, shops and restaurants.We originally booked in for one night but stayed a second.It's very reasonably priced. The rooms are compact, but there's everything you need for a city stay. It's clean and modern and very well looked after.Breakfast is great. A huge choice of juices, pastries, hot drinks, and more.We had a room on the main road but you can't hear any noise at all. The air conditioning kept the room at a comfortable temperature despite it being clammy outside.The staff are all very helpful and friendly.Really couldn't recommend it more 🙂.

It was hard to give anything but a 3. The location is brilliant, staff friendly and helpful. This is however a budget hotel wrapped up as a boutique hotel. We paid for a room with a window. Our view a brick wall! …

Nice and clean hotel! I liked everything from the check in to check out process. The staff is polite and helpful. The room was good size for one person. Maybe it would be not enough for two people. The hotel was very clean. This got me more important than the size of the room.
