Gran experiencia. Ubicación y practicidad.
Pros:

La ubicación es genial, cerca de la estación de tren (fuimos caminando), en una zona con muchos locales y restaurantes, sin molestar en absoluto nada de ruido. La atención del personal de recepción también muy buena. La habitación es muy limpia y correcta.

Cons:

No teníamos incluido el desayuno así que no puedo opinar. La recepción es extraña, pero cumple totalmente su función, no afecta en nada.

Great base in the old town
Pros:

The staff were so welcoming and friendly, and the room was really nice and clean and comfortable - we really enjoyed our stay and have already recommended the hotel to friends.
The sushi restaurant downstairs was also very good!

Cons:

Only negatives were that the bathroom had visual privacy in the form of a sliding screen, but almost no sound privacy. So you might not want to share the room with someone you're not already very comfortable with!
And there was a bar by the hotel playing very loud music until around midnight on the Friday night.

The best location for a relaxed and walkable city-trip
Pros:

Top location! Picturesque environment. All distances are walkable. Very pleasant and welcoming staff. Good breakfast, enough variety and as much coffee as you want. Clean room and excellent bed.

Cons:

The room is a bit tight and has only one chair. A second chair in a room for 2 people could easily be created with a smaller desk.
Inconvenient is that the shower is not inside the bathroom.

Great service, location & comfort.
Pros:

Friendly, helpful staff made us feel welcome through our stay. Our room was small, but adequate & comfortable, with thoughtful touches everywhere. The location cannot be beat - we were close to everything in Old Town.

Cons:

We would have appreciated a little more lighting.
