Nice stay, nice place, good budget, clean.
Pros:

Towels and bed was changed everyday, i give it a 10 out 10 for that, but the kettle and the cup, when i got to the hotel was dirty. Beside that the hotel does not have an elevator and to reach the room there was 3 floor of stiars, it would have be nice to know in advance.

Cons:

Reaching the room was a bit hard due to stairs.
