Great staff! Gave me a useful information about restaurants in the area.

Daria Latvia

I stayed one night in this hotel and I have no complaints. The host was very welcoming and spoke good English. The place is super clean and location is very quiet. 10 minutes to the city center walk. Good value for money.

Diana Malta

Good value, Clean. Helpful staff. Comfortable bed.

Everyone was extremely helpful- Rui at the front desk knew we’d only be there 1 night and even drew out a route for us to take on a map to maximize our site seeing while there!
