I booked the room as advertised free parking, free breakfast and free WiFi. At checkin was told that i was mislead online since economy room had nothing free included. At checkout next morning different front desk employee informed us there is free breakfast included in price so we were allowed to eat.

Avoid if you can

Absolute shambles of a place. The only good thing is the price Rooms filthy Rooms tiny. Barry enough room to walk around bed Stayed 3 nights seen no housekeeping or minimal at best Had to complain multiple times to get a clean room and one with blinds on windows Close to old town but that’s about the only other positive along with the price but still basic hospitality is expected

Clean, quiet, friendly, very affordable

The hotel is very clean and safe. The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. The room was basic, clean, and very quiet. The hotel is located in a charming part of the old city. Since the streets around the hotel are very narrow, and the hotel is surrounded by other houses and a mosque with a cemetery, there is hardly any traffic and it is quiet. As I am very noise sensitive, this hotel was perfect for me. Breakfast was surprisingly diverse with a variety of fruit being served. Coffee shops and bakeries are in a two-minute walking distance. Wi-fi worked comparatively well.

Good with reservations

Quet location very close to old town, good selection for breakfast and staffed 24 hours with generally obliging staff. I had to make my own bed on arrival, nothing of my room was cleaned the week I stayed, and my room smelt of smoke. I enjoyed it though.
