Fun place to stay
A very simple hotel where you have to make up your own bed, but the room is quite big, and there is a foaje that's always lively.
Nice comfortable clean accommodation within walking distance of the city centre. Easy check-in and check-out. Everything you need to eat-in available at reception staffed by an excellent team.Close to transport and supermarkets. Happy to recommend.
