I had mixed feelings about my stay at this hotel. On one hand, the location is fantastic, just a short walk to the Old City, which made exploring really easy. The rooms were decent and comfortable for sleeping, but unfortunately, cleanliness was a major drawback. The breakfast was acceptable but could use some improvement. Overall, it's affordable, but there were noticeable areas that needed attention.
