Over Easter weekend, I stayed in a hotel situated in the heart of the city, making it convenient to get around to the many nearby attractions. the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the room was kept clean and neat. I particularly enjoyed the good value for money, with breakfast included as well as generous portions at the restaurant.
The hotel had a few issues in terms of service. the elevator was not functioning, making it strenuous to climb the stairs.

Conveniently located in the heart of the city, walking distance to the ministry and near a few crowded streets, but peaceful at night. A few rooms offer views of a nearby church. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The bathroom is tidy with good shower pressure. The breakfast has a variety of options and the staff is amicable. The laundry services are reliable.
The thin walls in the hotel make it easy to hear noises from the other rooms, especially in the early morning.

This hotel offers great value for money. The prices are reasonable and the attention to detail is impressive. The hotel is conveniently located in the middle of the city, making it easy to walk to most places without the need for a taxi. Additionally, being situated above some shops is a bonus as you can easily find anything you may need during your travels.
All was ok, but the rooms could use a refrigerator.
