The location was central. Most attractions were a short walk away. the breakfast in the cafe downstairs was delicious. the rooms had comfortable beds and a good shower. It suited my needs for a short stay.
The room i had was quite small. It was a bit difficult to move around with luggage. the bathroom lacked good soundproofing. i could hear noises from other rooms, including people talking.
