Nice location in the old town, friendly staff -and clean however the mirrow above the headboard of the bed is too high and useless for a 5 foot height person so ended up using the little one in the toilet.

In the heart of town

Great location on the edge of the old town and close to tram system. Maria on reception was particularly helpful. Rooms are well equipped for the price and the shower/ bathroom was good. Dozens of bars and excellent restaurants are a very short stroll away.

It's centrally located, which is both a plus (close to everything we wanted to do/see/eat) and minus (older building and corner room added to various noises like floors creaking and vehicles passing by). Otherwise, it's a really good place to stay.
