The staff was especially helpful, the hotel was spotless and placed in an old part of the city close enough to all transport and historical centre. I had a good stay overall, the room I stayed in was nicely furnished with a bathroom, a comfortable bed. I was offered a savoury breakfast at a reasonable price.

Lovely location, fine, warm room. A flat-screen TV with cable channels, a writing desk and a private entrance in the room and the extra comfortable bed. The hotel was fairly clean and every staff member was very professional. There was a stunning restaurant, a shopping street and a market next door. Loved food selection, meals were cheap and they have plenty of options.
