I had a pleasant stay overall at this hotel! The rooms were quite spacious and comfortable, featuring a nice little balcony, which was a definite plus. The staff were absolutely friendly and helpful, making my experience even better. However, I found the breakfast options to be a bit lacking and there were some issues with room service charges. Overall, I think it's a decent choice for the price, especially given its great location near the central area.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is convenient, being close to public transport and the city center, which I really appreciated.

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel, as it boasts a great location just across the street from the metro and is close to the main train station. The rooms were basic but comfortable, clean, and equipped with a nice balcony providing a lovely view. While the staff was friendly and helpful, the dining experience left much to be desired with limited options, and hot water running out during showers was a downside. Overall, it offers good value for money, despite some minor inconveniences.

This hotel is in a super convenient location, close to many interesting tourist spots and cafes, which I really appreciated. The rooms were spacious but unfortunately lacked good thermal insulation, making it a bit chilly during my stay. While the staff was friendly and accommodating, I experienced some discomfort with the bedding. Given the overall experience, I feel the price should be lower, particularly for the 'superior' room.
