The hotel was exactly as shown in the pictures, with super comfortable beds but unfortunately lacked hot water. The shared bathroom was not ideal, yet the value for money was good. The location was right in the heart of the old city, but the early morning road works by the council were a bit disruptive.

The hotel is situated in a convenient location, right in the heart of the old city and not far from the town center. The rooms offer original features and have a nice terrace, but some may find it a drawback to share the bathroom. The service was excellent, but the price could be considered slightly high. Overall, a good value for money option.
