Fantastic Hotel with Great Staff!

The staff provided a warm welcome. They ensured I had extra water and toiletries! The location is central and close to public transport. Restaurants are also within easy reach. Netflix and Prime Video were available, a nice plus after a busy day exploring the city.
The hotel website states there is air conditioning. I learned at reception the rooms only have heating. This made sleeping uncomfortable because I am accustomed to a cooler climate.
