This hotel was very close to everything. Quietly located in a central place with easy walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go. There is not any parking close by, unless you use a parking garage. Plenty of great places to fine nearby. The room was very simple but clean and very comfortable.

the staff was very friendly and helpful, everything was clean and the facilities correspond to the low price but everything you need is there. Finding a parking space is quite difficult and the nearby parking garage is relatively expensive

Centrally located. Clean and as described in listing. Can get a little loud with others coming and going during the night but nothing that earplugs can’t take care of.

I liked the privacy, the quiet and the complete but basic provision of all that is needed to enjoy good nights of sleep and easy morning showers. One note: would probably be good to install non-slip no skid surfaces on the bath tub floors for safer showering.

On a busy street but that didn't provide a problem The staff were always pleasant Our room was clean ( cleaned on request ) and comfortable Unfortunately when someone else nearby was using a shower nearby, the water pipes became screechy The toilet was very small. The toilet seat was next to shower If someone has mobility issues, getting in and out of the shower may be difficult Overall the hostal provided an adequate stay
