Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Really convenient position in the old city, close to many important attractions, shopping and restaurants. Staff at the hotel were very nice and it has its own restaurant. The hotel has basically everything you need, but it's an older building in the old city, and the rooms are not big, we spoke to the staff and they kindly moved us to a family room. I would stay at this hotel because of the convenience to the city.
