Guest Ratings & Reviews
Staying at the hotel was a great experience overall. The location was wonderful, close to the train station and a short walk to restaurants and historical sights. The rooms were comfortable, although some faced the street directly. The dining experience was enjoyable on their terrace, and the service was attentive. However, being a bit further from the main attractions was a minor downside.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were unique with my favorite feature being the shared bathroom just around the corner. However, there were some mosquitoes around. The hotel's location was very convenient, only a short walk to the train station and close to many attractions, though a bit far from the main sites. The dining options were great, especially being able to have breakfast on their terrace. The service was attentive, and the hotel offered excellent value for the price paid.
I absolutely loved the hotel's prime location, just a stone's throw away from fantastic restaurants, cafes, and historical sights. The room, although without a private toilet, was cozy, but being on street level meant some noise from outside. Overall, a great spot to explore the city!
