Stayed one night for a quick visit. Wished we had stayed longer, so much to see! Easy access from the station but remember that it is a very hilly city. A very friendly local suggested we take the bus from the railway. Cannot remember the number!! Ask at the station. Clean and comfortable bed, great bathroom.
