The hotel's location impressed me. It was almost in the middle of everything. I appreciated that it was very close to the city center. Evening walks nearby were perfect. I was basically happy with the location of the hotel.

The bathroom was small. The toilet was basically under the sink. The bed could have been more comfortable. I noticed no amenities except soap. There was also no air-conditioning.
