Great little hotel
Service was excellent, super helpful and very friendly. Nice and easy to chat to and lots of great information. Room is small and basic, quite old decor, but bathroom is super modern and fresh. Great location and walkable, excellent stay overall.

Perfect for what I needed. Just a few minutes from the main square. But still quiet enough at night. Staff were excellent, and the breakfast included in the cost was great.
