"Nice room - clean functional, adequate size. Very stylish and expansive series of cozy settings in the ground-floor lobby area (library, cinema, lounge, bar, etc.) that we enjoyed hanging out in. Quite walkable location. No hotel parking, but on-street parking was easy with parking app."

"Location location Location. You couldn't ask for a better location than this hotel. Right in the heart of everything. Shopping, restaurants, bus stop, taxi stand, attractions, parking, surrounded by color full buildings and minutes to the famous church. Our room was big enough for our luggage and all of our stuff as we have been traveling for weeks. Only concern was there is no counter top to place your toiletries. I would go back and stay at this hotel. Breakfast was good. Inviting lobby and friendly staff. 2 thumbs up."
