Nice breakfast, lovely staff. Our room was a little loud as it’s near a busy corner but nice and clean which is most important.

Hotel Regina
Hotel Regina is super centrally located. You can literally walk everywhere. The rooms spare no details. The only drawback was the restaurant in the property which is not part of the hotel. This could have been better but not their fault.
