charming stay near historic sites

central locationamazing viewfriendly staffsmall bathroom
i found the location to be super central. the upper deck provided an amazing view. the staff was always very friendly and helpful, and someone was at the desk when i arrived late. i appreciated the clean room.
the bathroom was small and not reflected well in the platform photos. the hotel should be listed as a "hostal". breakfast was poor for the price paid. i think it needs improvements.

The location was superb. I could easily walk to many attractions (it was very convenient). The staff were also very helpful. They gave useful information.
The soundproofing wasn't great. I could hear noises from the corridor, especially people walking (it bothered me). the bed was not very comfortable.
