Acceptable Stay in the City Center

friendly staffexcellent locationclean roomold-fashioned buildinglimited receptionmissing breakfast
The staff were super friendly. They were always ready to help with anything I needed! The location is excellent. The hotel is very close to the bus station and the city center. The room was very clean. That's a big plus for me. I was happy.
The building seems a little old-fashioned. This is a concern! There is no 24/7 reception. This could be a problem for late arrivals or emergencies. I wish they provided breakfast. It would be more convenient. Still, there are lots of restaurants nearby.
