8.5Verified guest“A very lovely, small hotel, very close to everything. Staff was very friendly and helpful.”
8.5Verified guest“The kind staff is not enough to hide the poor quality of the hotel. Small room, even smaller bath, and the most crazy stairs I've ever seen. Breakfast was terrible and poor. We wonder about the 4 stars — it deserves no more than 2. Good for backpackers, but expensive for them.”
