Great location, 10 mins walk from the castle and 15 to the centre of the old town. There are a couple of grocery shops and very popular street food outlets within yards of the hotel. Well appointed rooms having just been refurbished. Would benefit from a few more english speaking tv channels though. Breakfast was great with a fantastic choice of hot and cold foods. Happy to stay again for sure!

The hotel is very clean and well maintained. The rooms are nice, and the location is excellent, right in the city center, which is very convenient. However, the breakfast needs improvement. The bread was dry and hard, the bacon was undercooked and not properly prepared, and the cakes were not very good. Overall, the breakfast quality did not match the standard of the hotel. Another issue was the noise. My room faced nearby business buildings, and work started early around 6 AM. There were many cars coming and going, which created a lot of noise. Overall, the hotel has a great location and is very clean, but improvements in breakfast quality and better sound insulation would make the stay much better.
