A Solid Stay near the Center

convenient location helpful staff small rooms repetitive breakfast

i stayed for several nights. the hotel's location is very convenient. It is close to many points of interest, a big plus. the breakfast was good, giving a nice start to the day. the staff were helpful and always pleasant.

The rooms are a bit small, i noticed. they can feel a little congested. It was not varied. i found it a little repetitive after a few days. there were not many options for vegetarians, unfortunately.

repetitive food cramped room

The breakfast options were quite repetitive. each morning, the same items were presented, which became monotonous. also, the room felt a bit cramped. I struggled with space, especially with luggage. a bit more room would have helped.
