The hotel is located in a quiet area, 2.1 km from the center, right in front of the bus station. The staff is very kind and was responsive to our problem and they changed our room which was on the top floor, my wife had problems going up to the upper floors, we thank them in this way.🙏 If you have mobility problems, you should know that access to the upper floors is by stairs.

I got room 106. The room under the main entrance and reception. It's incredibly difficult to sleep when every movement overhead becomes a massive creating and banging. No acknowledgement of how bad the situation was from hotel or staff.

Small roomed and stuffy. Staff friendly breakfast was not too bad . Fire doors in the kitchen area were open and it seemed like fire safety in the hotel was poor.

Small but cozy hotel in a very quiet area well served by public transport and supermarkets. Simple, clean and very comfortable room. Very very very friendly and nice staff.

Very good location, we visited everything on foot. The neighborhood is calm and lovely with good shopping on nearby Beggar Street. The room was pretty basic and the shower experience wasn't great with very little pressure, having to wait a long time for hot water and the fan not really working to eliminate the humidity. We did like having our room in the garden. It was clean.
