I had a decent stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic, right in the center of the city and very close to everything. The room was clean and had a nice balcony, but the furniture felt a bit outdated. The service was friendly, but I did encounter a rude receptionist which was quite disappointing. Overall, it offers good value for money but improvements could be made in certain areas.
