Very small rooms and double beds. Gets a bit claustrophobic in there. The great thing about the Hotel was the breakfast and the outdoor sitting area. It is also very centrally located. Short walk to the city centre.

We chose the hotel on the basis of its top spot on Trip Advisor's Best Value places to stay, and we were a little disappointed. Perhaps that had something to do with our late arrival after a long day's travel and the fact that it was pouring rain, but nevertheless we found the room dark and tiny, although adequate for our needs on a one night stay. The breakfast offered a good variety of cereals, fruit, eggs and meat (had we desired it). The staff was friendly, helping with directions and, later, a taxi. Good location for walking to visit markets etc.
The reception staff were wonderful - very accommodating. The breakfast was lovely. However I would strongly recommend you do not stay in room 31, the 2 single beds both had bed bugs - we were bitten each night of our stay - we informed the staff after the first night & were told it was probably mosquitos but it wasn’t that warm .
Dear Karen W.
Thank you for your review. We are happy to read you enjoyed our staff and breakfast.
you indicate that you are bitten by bedbugs. That is a serious accuse. You have said this to the reception after the first night.
We called in our regular combatant and he did not find anything. We did, however, extensively spray against mosquitoes.
Because we have not heard from you in the next few days, we assumed that the problem; the mosquitoes; was solved. Also we received no notifications of bedbugs before and after your stay.
Unfortunately we cannot do anything about it afterwards and we regret that you did not indicate earlier that the problem still existed. In that case, for example, we could have called the combatant again, sprayed more or offered you another room.
We wish you all the best and hope to welcome you next time in our hotel.

Stayed here for three nights with a large group of students. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Location is good as it is within walking distance to many restaurants, bars, and markets. Public transportation is also very close. I would stay here again.
We've stayed here for 2 nights. Our room was on the ground floor on the back side of the hotel. The room was quiet, clean, recently renovated with very good beds... The first day we missed the breakfast but the staff made some croissant with late machiato fur us!! Main attractions on walking distance. We're planning to come back in a couple of weeks.
