It was fairly priced, clean, and staff conducted themselves professionally and were very kind. Although, I ended up paying more for breakfast even after paying online, my overall experience was good and it could have only been better if I did t have to make 2 breakfast payments. Other than that, it was great.

This is a lovely place to stay. Old town is a very nice area that is close to the bus and tram system so that you can easily visit many other areas if you want. The hotel itself is very nice with all the amenities that you need, and very lovely people. I would definitely stay here again.
