The room was very comfortable and super clean. The staff was very polite and helpful. I also found the location to be perfect. It was central and a few minutes walk from the main square.

The room was very noisy. I could hear creaky floors. The walls were also thin. I slept poorly because I kept waking up. I could hear people walking on the floorboards and coughing next door.
