Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests overwhelmingly appreciate the hotel's central location, making it easy to access key attractions and the historic center. Many also highlight the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. However, noise at night is a significant issue for several guests, with reports of loud music, street noise, and disturbances from other guests. Room size is another common concern, with multiple reviews mentioning very small or modest rooms. Cleanliness receives mixed feedback, with some guests noting clean rooms while others report inconsistent housekeeping and worn towels. Overall, the location and service stand out as the hotel's main strengths.
