Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities

Simple, nice and central hotel with new furnitures

Nice location, super central. Clean and comfortable room with private bath. Half guesthouse and hostel. Staff not particularly warm. It as a pity that the breakfast is not included in the price.
