"It's a nice traditional place, very well located in the old town. Very clean but not very modern, and with a shower-in-tub arrangement that was difficult to deal with and felt quite dangerous. Absolutely lovely breakfast room and excellent breakfast. Very good food and huge portions in the hotel restaurant. No English TV at all, not even CNN or BBC, so that was a disappointment, "
"Staff was amazing. Easy check-in. Room and building was clean. Good wifi. Breakfast was great.
Easy walking distance to everything in the town. Close to shopping and transportation."
