Great location in the old city, close to most iconic tourist sites, as well as easily walkable to many forms of public transit. The maid service was hit or miss, but any need was taken care of as soon as it was made known to the staff. The room was small by Western standards, but certainly sufficient for two--and modern, clean, and new. The morning breakfast fueled and delighted.

The area was very central to many landmarks. Staff,were friendly and helpful and provided good information about the city and things to do. The area was bustling and interesting watching the shoe makers at work. At times very noisy area and could do with some street cleaners the pavements were dirty with cigarette butts.

As budget hotels go this was fabulous. The staff very helpful. We were asked to change rooms part way through the stay which was not a problem to us. The staff moved our luggage to the new room and thanked us with a chocolate cake, whats not to love

The hotel was very good and well located for seeing all the sights. The only reason I gave 4 stars rather than 5 was that the breakfast was not to my taste but that’s really my problem. There was a good offering for breakfast and free tea and coffee was available through the day. I could not fault the staff
