i found the staff friendly and helpful . the location was very central, just minutes from the main square. i arrived early and they allowed me to store my bags. the breakfast was plentiful, it had many choices both sweet and savoury.
The walls seemed thin. I heard noises from adjoining rooms, especially water running in the pipes. this made sleeping a little difficult at times.

The breakfast had tasty savory options, which surprised me. Check-in was super fast and efficient. The staff contacted me before I arrived to.
The walls seemed really thin. I could hear everything in the next room. I also heard noises from the hallway. Made it hard to sleep! Our room was not very clean. I had to clean much of it myself.
