Very impressed with this hotel. We booked a twin room and arrived around midnight to a friendly and efficient welcome. The room was a good size and the complementary first stocking of the mini-bar was a pleasant surprise. There's also a hot drinks machine in reception that's available for use. Lots of towels, comfortable bed and a good shower, though I cut my leg on the sharp corners of the beds - so beware of those! Breakfast was complementary and offered a good, well-stocked selection of all the usual items. Overall, much better than a standard 3* hotel and I'd return again.

Very Good Hotel in excellent location

Hotel is in a very central location in old town. Room was modern, comfortable and clean. I felt the a/c was not cooling enough and they inmediately placed a fan in our room which helped to circulate the cool air. So I must recognize they have very good service. Also, I like they included breakfast with eggs, bacon and sausages.
