helpful staff awesome breakfast

Staff were helpful. Breakfast was awesome and a great deal. The location is nice, quiet, out of a noisy touristy area but close enough to walk to sights within 10-20 minutes. I found it easy to reach attractions.

The carpet had stains. You could not tell what they were. It was unacceptable.

Reasonable stay near the city center

good location friendly staff clean room no air conditioning unsafe balcony physical key

The location was quite good. It was a short walk to a tram stop. Many shops and restaurants existed nearby. The staff were notably friendly and helpful, I appreciated that. The room was acceptably clean and reasonably sized.

There was no air conditioning in my small room. This was not ideal. The room faced a balcony that provided direct access to another separate room. This felt unsafe when leaving the window open. I think it's important to note the door uses a physical key, so it can be opened from the outside if not locked from the inside.
