I loved the hotel's central location. It was near almost everything I needed—restaurants, cafés, and shops. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the clean and comfortable private room with lots of natural light. The vibrant atmosphere downstairs made it easy to meet fellow travelers. The breakfast was great for just 5 Euros, too!
