A comfortable hotel in a convenient location
Pros:

We were greeted in a warm and friendly manner for our one night stay at Hotel Spalentor. While not rated as a comfortable walk, the hotel is within walking distance of the station. It is also nearby to eating places in the old town and the University Botanical Gardens are across the street. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast offered a variety of choices. Using information from a brochure in the foyer, we were able to download a free (and informative) walking tour in the old town.

Pros:

Da localização.
Quartos muito bons

Cons:

Tive necessidade de ir ao quarto durante a estadia às 14 horas e 30 m e nessa hora o quarto estava a ser limpo.
Parece muito tardia essa hora de limpeza..
Havia sempre um barulho de fundo noturno durante a noite. Não era o A/C porque esteve sempre desligado.

We really appreciated the friendly and helpful staff for finding little local gems
Pros:

The staff was very helpful. The rooms were smallish, but nice. The hotel perfectly accommodated my request for room, location, and type. And there was a bonus of a very lovely free local garden less than a block away.
