The location was very near to the station but noisy due to nearby bars. The dining area was overpriced and lacked privacy. Overall, a mixed experience with some drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The room, although clean and with a good-sized bed, was located above a food shop which caused some unpleasant smells in the stairwell. Despite the small bed size, it was comfortable, but a bit tricky for restless sleepers. The service was outstanding, the staff was knowledgeable and friendly, making my stay enjoyable. The location was superb, right in the city center with easy access to public transport, ideal for exploring the city. Dining was average, nothing extraordinary, and a bit pricey for what was offered.

The hotel's location is excellent, right in the center with convenient access to tourist information and close to many sightseeing places. However, the service was a bit rude when inquiring about room tidying up. The hotel is hard at work with facilities in need of renovation and improvements.

The hotel is situated facing the main road, with rooms that are quite small but clean. While the room size was just enough for a double bed, the lighting was poor. The staff, especially those on the late shift, were brilliant and full of fun, always very helpful and in a great mood. The location is extremely central, close to all city attractions and within a 5-minute drive to the station and main restaurant street. The dining options were good and nutritious, offering a variety of choices.
