I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the Old Quarter with easy access to many bars and restaurants. The rooms were quite comfortable and spacious, but the view was disappointing, looking out onto a rubbish-filled area. The service, particularly from the receptionist, left a lot to be desired. Overall, it offers good value for money considering the location, but improvements could be made in service and room view.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location is fantastic, right in the heart of the Old Town, the room left a lot to be desired with a small window overlooking a rubbish area. The staff at the front desk weren’t the friendliest, but the housekeeping was satisfactory. Overall, it’s a decent place to stay if you want to be in a prime location, but I wish the service and room quality matched that.

The room was a bit cramped with a very small window that faced the rubbish area. However, it had good facilities and air conditioning, which was a plus.

The hotel has a great location right in the heart of the old town, making it convenient to explore. The rooms are clean but not very spacious, and the individual bathrooms are a plus. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired, particularly due to an obnoxious receptionist. Overall, it's decent value for money considering the location, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

The rooms were clean, but I found the window quite small with a view of a rubbish-filled back area. There wasn't really anywhere to sit my suitcase, but the big bathroom was a nice touch.

The hotel has a great location right in the heart of the old town, making it convenient for exploring the area. Although the rooms have air conditioning and individual bathrooms, the small windows with views of the rubbish-filled back area can be a letdown. Service was lacking due to an obnoxious receptionist, but housekeeping did a decent job. Overall, it’s not the ideal stay but offers good value for the location.
