I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is conveniently located just a short walk from the city center, making it easy to explore. The rooms were comfortable, though my view left a bit to be desired. The staff was incredibly helpful, especially when it came to carrying my luggage. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and it would have been great to have more variety. Overall, it was a good value for the price, but there's room for improvement in a few areas.

I had a pretty decent stay at the hotel. The staff was really friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with anything we needed. However, the ongoing construction made our standard room a bit noisy, and getting to our room involved a lot of stair climbing, which was quite a workout! The location is convenient, just a short ride to the town center, but the noise and stairs were definitely drawbacks.
