The hotel rooms looked good enough but had too many flaws. They had beds and a seating area with the TV wall-mounted in between. Despite being comfortable, they felt a bit small. The room temperature was uncomfortably hot, like in a steam room, and there was no way to adjust it.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. While the rooms were not very spacious, they were adequate for two people and were clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful, although they were not able to assist promptly with a broken air conditioning unit in the room. The location was convenient, close to the main train station and within walking distance of the Old Town. The dining experience offered a good variety of options, especially for breakfast. However, there were a few shortcomings in terms of room size and service response.
