The hotel is situated in the old town, and it's so close to few pubs and everything else you will need. The rooms are spacious and modern, and the staff is incredibly friendly. However, being over a night club that ran until 5 am can be noisy at times. The dining experience with home-made local products was a delightful surprise. The facilities are convenient and well-maintained with good value for money.

The hotel is ideally located in the city center, but unfortunately next to a noisy night club that runs until 5 am. The rooms are comfortable, and the service is good. The dining experience is enjoyable with a barbeque option, but the location can be noisy due to the nearby night club. The facilities are basic but sufficient for a short stay.

The hotel is situated in a bustling city center, close to main attractions but nestled in a secluded alley over a night club that runs until 5 am. The rooms are spacious and modern, offering a comfortable stay, but the service may have room for improvement.
