I found the hotel to be in a great central location, very close to the train station and old town, which was incredibly convenient. The rooms, though very small and lacking proper lighting and ventilation, were clean but noisy due to the busy street outside. The service was helpful and informative overall, but not the friendliest. The dining options were adequate but could use more variety. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel's location and cleanliness make it a decent choice for a stay.
