The hotel had some charming aspects, like its spacious rooms and helpful staff, but it could improve its language support for international guests and the breakfast offering. The Wi-Fi in the lobby was a nice perk, but it was disappointing not to have it in the rooms. Overall, it provided decent value for the quality, especially considering its comfortable atmosphere.

The hotel has a warm atmosphere, especially welcoming on a chilly December day, and the rooms are adequate with decent size. However, the breakfast is quite basic and may not cater well to foreign tastes. While there's free Wi-Fi in the lobby, the lack of in-room Wi-Fi could be limiting for some guests. Overall, a solid choice for those seeking affordability and fundamental comforts.

The hotel has a grand lobby and comfortable twin beds, making it a good choice for a city stay. While the room size is satisfactory and the shower pressure is excellent, the breakfast is just okay and Wi-Fi connection can be tricky at first. Overall, it offers good value for money, especially given its convenient location for sightseeing.
