Overall, the hotel is really good. Staff was excellent. Helpful and friendly. The location of the hotel is ideal. Walking distance to shopping and right next to the train station. Also has a Starbucks next door and the bus station that we needed for our tours was across the street. Couldn’t ask for a better location. Good A/C also, which is hard to find in Europe. My only complaint is the showers are very small and hard to get out of. Seems like a hazard. Otherwise, I loved my stay at the hotel.
