    Great central location, reasonably priced meals, and the rooms are great, though they could do with an electric kettle for hot beverages. Service is good.

    We booked two rooms for one night after our first place was cancelled. I think the quality is fine, location is great and the staff were friendly and professional.

    Amazing service from very friendly staff. The room was very clean, and both the AC and hot water worked perfectly. We were allowed to check in early, and upon check-out, since we wanted to spend a few more hours exploring the city, they kindly stored our luggage in a secure room. They were very accommodating with everything. The breakfast was also very good. I gave 4 out of 5 stars because the hotel lacks a terrace or an open space to relax and enjoy some fresh air during the day. It can feel a bit enclosed.
