Very good
Anonymous, Apr 2016
Pros (+) Friendly, helpful staff. Within walking distance of some of the attractions we wanted to see. Small but cozy room.
Cons (-) Thin walls - could hear people laughing next door. Bed was a bit on the harder side (personal taste though, not the establishment's fault).

Pros (+) The room has a nice look and was very clean
Cons (-) had a ground-level room and could hear the people above me all night. I was next to the exterior stairs as well and they make quite a racket.
