Nice but noisy

Hotel is very well located, closed to most tourist sites, the room was clean and comfy, the only problem was the noise, because of the acoustics of the room we could hear a lot of noise from other rooms, especially footsteps, things dropping on the floor and children’s cry, fortunately later in the night the noise gave us a break and we could sleep well.

Ok. But not 3 stars

Overall not a bad hotel. But it’s was very old and not in a great condition. I am surprised that it is a 3 Star place. I feel it should be more like a 1 Star hotel

Brilliant location but this hotel is very much in need of some upkeep. The decor is old and tired and the bathrooms are an assault on the senses. Breakfast is very limited but if all you're after us a place to Kay your head this will do just fine.

Nice hotel, right on the town's main square. Our room faced the square and we enjoyed people watching and street performances from above. The bathroom is CRAMPED. It is like being in an RV bathroom. The entire room gets wet when you shower. Nice breakfast, very helpful and pleasant staff.

Very good location

Very good location since it was in the center of the old city and everything was in easy walking distance. The hotel.com ap did not hold this booking and for a second hotel we stayed at could not find it when booking reference was applied. I would not trust it in future.
