“In my opinion, this hotel's greatest asset is its prime location amidst the bustling heart of the Old City, where the vibrant energy of the trading area pulses, but light sleepers may require earplugs. While the building reflects its age and rooms might feel compact, the staff's helpfulness shines through, and this dedication to service can elevate the stay. For travelers prioritizing immersion in the city's core over modern frills, this hotel presents a reasonable option, even though I would probably choose breakfast elsewhere.”
