Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's excellent central location, making it convenient for travel and sightseeing. Many found the accommodation to be good value for money, especially for budget travelers. The staff were frequently described as friendly and helpful, and several guests appreciated the building's charm and period decor. However, cleanliness was a recurring concern, with reports of stained linens, insufficient cleaning, and dated facilities. Despite some noise and maintenance issues, the hotel met the basic needs of many guests seeking affordable and well-located accommodation.
