Great Central Location

helpful staffcentral locationreasonable price
I found the staff very helpful and nice. The location is AMAZING and allows you to cover almost every place (it's central!). The price was very reasonable and I did not find anything close to it for this value.
The breakfast had a limited selection. Replenishing items required me to ask.

The breakfast offered a simple selection (I really liked the fresh bread!). Some items needed to be requested for replenishment during the breakfast service, however, the staff were always attentive to my needs.
Rooms

My room was clean, and the bed was comfortable after a long day of sightseeing. The bathroom included a bath, I prefer it to a shower, so it really worked well for me. The room provided ample space.
