The hotel has a great location. It’s really close to everything and you can walk to many landmarks. The staff is welcoming, but the hotel itself needs some care and sprucing up.

Very close to the center of town at a reasonable price. Room was clean and had good provisions. But only one espresso and one cappuccino cup not good if you have 2 people. Cappuccino machine and fridge were great. Maybe a kettle for tea and some more cups and glasses would be good.
