Decent Hotel with Central Location

convenient location friendly staff nice layout warm room disabled ac locked window

The location was very convenient. It was easy to walk to many attractions and the train station. The staff was friendly and pleasant. The room had a nice layout (I loved the large bathroom).

The room was a bit too warm. The AC was disabled, and the fan only blew hot air. The windows were locked, so I could not get fresh air. Bottled water cost too much (E4.00).

poor service scratched walls

The location is excellent, close to the train station and the cathedral.

The bar service was unacceptable. My companion and I wanted to order drinks, and a waiter said he would return. We waited fifteen minutes and he never came back. the room looked worn. The walls had scratches.
