"The apartment was in a perfect location to explore the old town, as well as being only a short walk from the metro and bridges to other parts of the city. It was easy to check in and out. The apartment itself was a wonderful, comfortable haven to return to after a day of exploring. It was good having the kitchen and a washing machine available. Not a problem for me but do be aware that it is up almost 60 steps, some of them quite steep, if mobility is an issue. "

"The hotel is clean in general, and staff are nice, but we were allocated to a room that's not facing the street. We opened the windows and killed 6 mosquitos over 3 nights - at midnight as well, so sleep was really interrupted. There can be more lights in the room as well. The hairdryer was broken on the last night and the noise was so loud when in use. The room would probably be better and brighter if it's facing the street."

"Very nice hotel, I stayed for 2 nights. No parking on site, the streets are extremely narrow so be mindful as you drive. There was some shenanigans going on outside on the street a bit of a fight. At night the area might not be safe but during the day is fine. There is no parking at the hotel, but a few streets down there is a large, very clean underground parking, so that was fine. I would say for sight seeing the hotel is well located, walking distance from a lot of attractions, including the...
