7.5Verified guest“This central hotel is superb value. Being close to the old center and the subway makes it easy for both work and play. The staff are welcoming and on the ball, and the rooms, while basic, are clean and neat. Breakfast is tasty and has plenty of choices.”
7.5Verified guest“Great spot—near the attractions and subway, plus a good breakfast. Staff were helpful and friendly. The letdown was the room: dated, with a bathroom in need of repairs. No extras, which left it feeling sparse. The bed was hard and pillows were flat. Fine for a quick stay.”
7.5Verified guest“Perfectly central, close to the bus terminal and old town. Loads of local restaurants, bars, and street food nearby. Staff are friendly and helpful, and the area feels safe and walkable, even at night. Rooms are clean and give you enough space to spread out.”
