The dining experience was simple but offered a variety of choices. Overall, it was a great value for money.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was clean and well-equipped with tea and coffee-making facilities and a very comfortable bed, but it was located near two busy main streets. The service was very friendly and helpful, but the dining options could be improved. The location is convenient, being close to the main square and shopping areas. The facilities were decent, but with some room for enhancement.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms lacked a bit of ventilation since they are situated in the basement of the building, in a dark room without windows. However, the room was clean and well-equipped with tea and coffee making facilities available and a very comfortable bed, though the inability to open a window was a downside.

The hotel offers comfortable rooms without windows in the basement, which were clean and cozy but lacked natural light. The service was helpful and friendly overall, with some extra care during thunderstorms. The location is excellent for tourists and business travelers, right downtown close to main attractions. The dining experience had a good self-service breakfast but could be improved with more variety. The facilities are decent, offering basic amenities for a satisfactory stay.
