The location offered easy access to the old town, which I appreciated. I found the room quite clean upon arrival. The staff were very helpful in answering my questions about the surrounding area.

There was no lift. I had to carry my suitcase up several flights of stairs. This was a struggle. The bathroom proved to be very small, with limited space to move around. I also noticed considerable noise from nearby bars late at night.

I must say i was a little disappointed. the noise was a real issue. Both from inside and outside the building it was a bit too much. i could hear conversations and even snoring from other rooms because the walls seemed very thin. also, the noise coming from the bars on the ground floor and private apartments late at night was a problem. it made it difficult to relax and get a good night's sleep.
