    Safe and quiet basic accommodation in the town center with very affordable prices that include breakfast (eggs, toast, fruit, coffee). We’d stay here again.

    It’s a very chill place. The location is really good and it’s close to the city center without all the noise. The staff is very kind and friendly, especially David helped us a lot.
