Second time here, love the hotel. Room 6 this time though which was cold and hard to warm up with the A/C. Robes and/or extra blankets would be amazing.

Highly recommended - great place to stay!

Excellent large room, recently renovated and very well appointed. Complimentary snacks and drinks from the minibar was a nice bonus. Great central location, just 1 street from the Central Market and 2 blocks from the tram and main street. Had a beer and steak in the pub/restaurant downstairs and they were also excellent. Highly recommended.
