Very peaceful and quite, away yet easily accessible city centre. Room spacious and very neat, no foul smell or odour. Nice balconay to enjoy fresh air. Bathrooms old but good hot running water with clean towels and amnetities. No room service, but simple American breakfast available at cheap price. Only downside the room was a bit dark. Recommended for couples who want a peaceful resting place, for younger persons wanting to enjoy night life should perhaps look for a place in the city centre. I would recomment this hotel to others and plan to stay there on my next trip.
