I didn’t expect much bc it appears to be a bare bones hotel . I was pleasantly surprised surprised . The beds were comfy and the ac was the best we experienced in Europe’s hottest summer. The room was clean and the location for day trips could not be beat. The breakfast was additional and was average/doable buffet for the price. Would stay here again!

This is a well-kept, clean, nicely-located property. It is not fancy, very basic and relatively affordable. Expect comfort, staff support, location, decent breakfast- don’t expect luxury. Highly recommend for travelers on a budget.

Overall, the hotel is really good. Staff was excellent. Helpful and friendly. The location of the hotel is ideal. Walking distance to shopping and right next to the train station. Also has a Starbucks next door and the bus station that we needed for our tours was across the street. Couldn’t ask for a better location. Good A/C also, which is hard to find in Europe. My only complaint is the showers are very small and hard to get out of. Seems like a hazard. Otherwise, I loved my stay at the hotel.
