Central and Traditional Stay
useful location hot food cozy atmosphere
This hotel had such character. The location near public transport was super useful. Breakfast was filling with plenty of hot food choices. I enjoyed the traditional decor and cozy atmosphere the hotel provided.
The street-facing room I had experienced noise from trams. They ran quite late into the night, which disrupted sleep a bit. I recommend asking for a room away from the street.
