8/10 Good
"Location was excellent. Walking distance to many tourist attractions and places to eat. The staff in the Reception were welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was good, there was a selection of cold and cooked breakfast provided. The room was standard, clean and the mattress was comfortable. The hot water in the shower was difficult to regulate. Wi-Fi and internet speed were excellent. Overall we were happy with this old fashioned hotel which it a bit of history."
