Hotel was in the middle of a neighborhood which was quiet but not alot to walk to. Parking is tight, and we parked on the street and carried luggage up a decent incline. The breakfast was great! Cute bar and comfortable area. Would stay again.

Clean, and tidy, good location to explore. Staff were friendly, only downside is if you want to use the pool (at weekends) you are also in with local swimming lessons & it’s not that big.

Only one elevator available and was broken, we had to push our luggages down the stairs, no air conditioning in the room, no hand lotions either. Bright spot was the staff, they were very helpful and assisted in calling the car rental company for me.
