The location itself is amazing, all the main sights are walking distance from the hotel, you also have public transport near by and many restaurants. They serve something different for breakfast every day. The owner is very kind. They renovated the bathroom. Great value for money!

Staff (and the owner) where super nice. Help with everything I asked for, including adapters, directions, touristy stuff, reaching out to taxi, etc…. Also moved my parents to the next door hotel owned by the same people, when they did not like the noise in the room
