Perfect location. Walking distance to all areas to visit. Surrounded by boutique shops, cafes & restaurants. Staff are all cordial & helpful. They're very hospitable. The room, hallway, the whole hotel is nice, neat & clean. Daily breakfast is very good.

The hotel is in a perfect location for exploring the city and for the train station to get to other cities. You are able to walk everywhere. The staff communicated before and during our stay and were helpful with suggestions on where to eat etc. The rooms are small, but extremely well appointed with everything you need. We had two twin beds and it was very doable. Highly recommend this hotel.
