The front desk staff was professional and helpful! Her restaurant recommendations were excellent. I found this area to be a beautiful part of the city for my stay. I could walk from the hotel to each restaurant and pass through a piazza where local people played music.

The air conditioning was weak and loud. The bathroom had a bad smell coming from the pipes, it needs a refresher. There were no safes in the room. That was a concern.

Acceptable Stay with a Notable Drawback

convenient locationbathroom odorrecurring issue

The location was convenient enough, close to many restaurants and bars for a short walk

The bathroom odor was quite off-putting. It might be a plumbing issue, but it was nice. I saw other reviews mentioning a similar problem, so it appears to be a recurring issue.

The staff were friendly and helpful. the whole hotel was clean. I appreciated that. the location was also ideal for visiting the city center. it was easy to get around from there.

the room was small. the decor seemed a bit dated. i was like i was in a hostel more than a hotel. it felt a bit basic.
