Location was perfect - easy 8min walk to/from train station and walkable to all sightseeing spots. Breakfast was great; staff was super friendly and helpful. Good wifi, near market and food, always felt safe. Its quite loud at night but the location itself was well worth it. Would stay again.

Staff (both reception and housekeeping) were very friendly and helpful. Hotel’s location was great. The mattresses were awful, however, and it was difficult to get a good night’s sleep. The noise of the plumbing and the other guests was clearly audible. There were a few minor issues with the safe and the shower leaking.

The hotel is very nice, it’s decorated with antiques. Our only complaint was there weren’t proper plugs for us to charge our phones. It wasn’t until our final day that I discovered plugs for our chargers .
