Sober and minimalist hotel but very clean. Well located and inexpensive. The only negative point is the presence of tampon and sanitary pad dispensers in the men's toilets, which is quite ridiculous.

The location is excellent! Walking distance to the main sightseeing. The big grocery store is across the road. Pretty decent breakfast! Clean and nice. Great bonus: you can leave your luggage there before checking in or after checking out!! I enjoyed my stay, and definitely recommend the place!

Excellent location, price, food options nearby. Surface level clean, but could use a good deep clean. It was perfect for a place to sleep but nothing fancy - feels more hostel-like with quality of mattresses/bedding/towels. Definitely would stay again for a quick turnaround though.
