Central location within walking distance of downtown tourist areas, and shops. No elevators, and toilet facilities somewhat dated. Rooms clean and Staff very attentive but meal times might benefit from being extended. If you like old style charm this is ideal, perhaps having more tourist info such as taxi numbers or bus maps would help.
