helpful staffcomfortable bedcentral locationsteep stairs
i found the staff cute and helpful. the bed was comfortable and i got a good night's sleep. the location was close enough to the train station, and i could walk to the shops. there was plenty of markets, and it was not too noisy for a central location.
my room was on a top floor, up a few flights of stairs. it made it difficult to carry my luggage. i wish i knew about this before i booked.
