  Old world charm with a very narrow staircase, no lift. Set in a very popular area that is trendy and has a good nightlife. Room was sufficient and did it’s job for one night. Close to the Port. AirCon was great. No one to meet us at the door which made us worry for a second until the shop owner next door assisted us.
