Reasonable stay experience

central locationquiet areaincluded breakfasttired hotelone bathroomcold shower
The location was very central. We found the area quiet and peaceful. The breakfast included in the price was great. The staff members were very friendly and helpful.
The hotel was quite tired. Only one bathroom and toilet were fully operational. This was not a major issue as the hotel was not fully booked. The shower water was a little cold.
