    We loved the central location, short walking distance to popular tourist attractions. Perfect for friends who are going out at nights.

    The room and bathroom were very spacious which is great. Loved the coffeemaker and the coffee was really good, life saver when waking up. The bed with all the pillows was very comfortable. Staff was very nice and efficient.

    Not so much complaints but remarks. The bathtub was so old and stained that I had to put a towel in it to stand there to take a shower and actually lying down in it was out of the question for me. The room wasn't cleaned very well. there was a sticky substance on the night table and I'm not really sure that the washbasin was cleaned properly. There was a really big old fashioned TV and not a flatscreen, which you would expect in this kind of room.

    They asked to pay usd 10 per 24 hours to get access to the net, but Wi-Fi was bad.
