Carmelite Hotel

8/10 Good
"I stayed for two weeks and I really enjoyed it. The bed was comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the location was convenient for most sites. There was some noise on a few of the nights, but it wasn’t the fault of the hotel, and I always carry ear plugs. The only minor complaint I have is that I wish the rooms were cleaned more often than every four days. Otherwise, it was a great stay, especially for the price, and I would recommend and/or return."
