Noisy room
Good hotel location, but our rooms were not great and old. In specifics room with number 01-03 no matter the floor, they are facing street with noisy bar, window is only 1 layer so we could hear clearly the conversations from the street below (btw. we stayed on 7th floor)
We can hear conversations in the hallway too, other room doors closing.

The staff was helpful and nice. The property was basically a safe place to stay. The room with three twins was cramped and basic. It was clean but nothing fancy. The area was ok and not too far from some light shopping and cafes. We were there in May, their fall, so maybe there just wasn’t a lot going on in general but I would not recommend this hotel unless you’re on a shoestring budget and don’t mind basic accommodations

Goobut keep your belongings locked
Hotel stay was ok, its location was good
as was the breakfast. However we had an incidente where a necklace of one of our group members that were on the table was lost during the time that we were out and it was not recovered. Recomend that you keep your personal belongings locked in any trip that you make.

Nothing grand about it.
The hotel is located very conveniently, that's about all the positive feedback I could provide.
The rooms are dated, the pillows are horrible, there walls must be very thin because we could hear every single conversation in the neighbors room, the bathroom was very old and had a bunch of exposed cables. I've had better stays at a motel 6 for less money.
