My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean and a good size, although the windows needed a bit of attention and there were some flies around. The service was top-notch with friendly and helpful staff. The location was central but noisy in the morning, making it hard to sleep in. The dining experience varied, with some good and some disappointing aspects. Overall, a decent choice for a stay.

The hotel is situated in a problematic location directly on a narrow street and town square, resulting in small rooms without running cold water for flushing toilets, showers, or cold beverages. The limited space makes it challenging for couples, and there is a lack of storage for clothes. Despite these drawbacks, the service was exceptional and worthy of commendation.

Rooms

5.0

The rooms were small and lacked the necessary amenities like running cold water, posing challenges for basic needs. Limited space made it uncomfortable for couples, and the absence of storage facilities was inconvenient.

Despite the hotel's challenging location on a narrow street and town square, it managed to be a quiet haven in the evening, offering a comfortable bed. The staff was friendly, helpful, and always pleased to assist.

Dining

The dining experience was underwhelming, with cheap and unappetizing food served in a disappointing manner outside rooms late at night. The breakfast, though warm, lacked variety and consistency.

Limited dining options and problematic room conditions affected the overall experience. However, the service was a shining beacon of positivity that stood out amidst the hotel's challenges.
