Perfect location - St. George Mall, that is, the centre of the city. Helpful staff - we were leaving early in the morning, and - - they prepared for us a packed breakfast to take with, - they booked a taxi, and we paid for it by a credit card in the hotel, before leaving. Very good breakfast. Clean nice room, with good bed linen and two pillows - one firm and the other soft.

The building itself look a bit aged, but it has being well maintained, the room size is ok for 2 . The toilet and the shower were functional. The breakfast was excelent, with a wide variety of hot and cold meals. The location is quite frightening by night, but during the day, it was ok, with the Green Market from walking distance. Good options of restaurants nearby. One of the few hotels which provides parking.
