I really enjoyed the central location. It was super easy to walk to many attractions. The staff was very friendly and helpful! The breakfast had a great variety, and it was delicious.
The room felt quite small! There was barely any space to move around with the king bed. The air conditioning was not great, so I had to switch rooms. The bathtub had a poorly installed screen that caused water to leak all over the floor, what a mess!

This hotel has the perfect location. I want to be near good shopping and restaurants. Markets and tourist offices are close too! I found a Spar supermarket that sells hot croissants daily. Taxi rides from the train station are short.
The room I stayed in felt too tiny! There was barely any space for two people and small suitcases to move freely. A hard bed sagged in the middle. I really think the rooms should be bigger.
