No frills but great value & nice staff
This is a good hotel for a reasonable price - less than 20 minutes walk form the edges of the old town and attractions. Breakfast included becomes really valuable when prices in town are extortionate - nothing is LUX standard - but it's clean, everything works, including a strong hot shower) and the staff are nice. Nice public lounge and patio

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I stayed here two nights with my friend and we really liked the room. It was cute and clean and the staff was kind and helpful even when we needed help with a few things. It is an older place so everything wasn't brand new (I've seen a few reviews about it being old and gross) but my room was lovely and I had no problems with the condition or cleanliness of anything. Breakfast was ok, it was nice it was cooked to order but it took a while but they had a few options if you were in a rush. I would stay here again
