Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The location is good, close to the train station and not far from the main points of interest. The staff is great. Breakfast was ok, although limited.
The property condition was under our expectations. The room that we were assigned (for three people) was ok, but the washroom was tiny and the distribution was very inconvenient. The room did not have a place to connect the Europe to North America plug adaptor, except for one in the washroom where there was zero space to put the phones, etc. Overall not a good value for money and way under our expectations.
Friendly and helpful staff. We areived before the check in time and were able to store luggage in the hotel. Walking distance to all the attractions and dining.
Good proximity to the station and walkable to local eateries. Friendly and helpful front desk clerks. Mattress a bit firm and shower small. Continental breakfast was good and staff in breakfast room friendly and helpful!

Very friendly staff and perfect location to all attractions. The option of storing the luggage before check-in and/or after check-out was a life saver.
Conveniente location one block away from the train station and a few minutes walking to main attractions. Breakfast was always the same, including boiled eggs every day.
Close to the train terminal (walkable) this hotel is older but very nice. The staff was great and there were quite a few places to eat close by. Breakfast buffet was good. The old fashioned elevator was a plus!

Very small one room space, narrow bathroom. Considering how busy the area is it was ok for one night stay for a family of five. Staff was kind to keep our luggage when we arrived about 2 hours earlier than the check in time. Breakfast fast was good, nothing fancy though.

Disliked: Staff & service
They were helpful enough, but the room decor was very strange. Additionally, the small room’s air conditioner didn’t work, and the bathroom was very cave-like, as you could tell it didn’t originally exist.
