Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was fairly close to all the major sites and the train station. The rooms are very small, but we didnt stay in them very long, shower-sleep, Nice bathroom w/shower and clean. Could walk to most everything so no real need for taxi. Tram was bout 5 blocks away which took us to day trips. We did not use the breakfast option, didnt look that great, similar to the cheap american hotel breakfasts.

My stay here was fantastic. It was a short walk from many essentials—from the train station, to markets, restaurants/cafes, and (more importantly, for those on a long trip) foolproof laundromats. The staff were kind, welcoming and very helpful. The room was clean and always well-kept. I would for sure stay here again the next time I’m in town! Highly recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff were very friendly & helpful. Did not like the design of the shower with no door because water leaked out onto the floor in front of the toilet during each shower. Also the electrical outlet in the bathroom did not work making it difficult to use my flat iron. Otherwise was pleased with this hotel!
