Area around here is pretty noisy but very central for walking. Hotel is old but clean, and staff are lovely and helpful. We would stay again. We didn’t opt for breakfast as there are lots of good inexpensive options nearby.

Sara

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This place was a nice stay in a very busy area day and night. It didn’t have excellent soundproofing from the other guests which is hit or miss for who’s there when you are. The bathroom was new and quite lovely, the room itself was a bit bare but for a place to crash it was great. Not a super romantic or long term stay on my opinion, but a nice place to have as a base near the train station.

I would call the property just fine. We had problems with the water, and if you have an outside room it can be very noisy at night.

Liked: Cleanliness
Cute and small hotel about a 15 minute walk to town center. Breakfast was good. Currently under renovation and somewhat dusty from same. Renovation supplies in common areas. Completed renovation in poor quality as the shower doors came off the track and fell on me coming out of the shower. Electric outlet in bathroom not working. Refrigerator not cooling. I think we could have done better for the money. On the upside, the sale market was around the corner where we picked up some nice leather items

Location was perfect - easy 8min walk to/from train station and walkable to all sightseeing spots. Breakfast was great; staff was super friendly and helpful. Good wifi, near market and food, always felt safe. Its quite loud at night but the location itself was well worth it. Would stay again.

Great Spot for a Quick Stay

Smaller room than expected, but we had access to the downstairs lounge during the day to help cool off in the heat wave. Staff was friendly and breakfast was delectable. Great value and location to train station.
