7.2Verified guest

“Great location, friendly multilingual staff, and a clean, comfortable atmosphere with plenty of room amenities. Attractions and restaurants are less than five minutes' walk away.”

7.2Verified guest

“The location was ideal, right in the heart of it all, close to sights and restaurants. But the experience didn't match other websites' descriptions. There was a language barrier with staff, and while the room was clean, the bathroom had issues—a faulty light and leaky fixtures. No breakfast and no coffee maker were disappointing.”

7.2Verified guest

“Convenient location, warm room in winter, and helpful staff reachable via WhatsApp. The airport shuttle was punctual, the staff spoke several languages, and the room was well-equipped. Close to sightseeing and restaurants.”
