Pros:

Super friendly and professional staff, perfect location to explore the Old Town but also good connected to visit the city overall. Hotel is tastefully furnished and the room is not huge but sufficiently spacious and well organized (I have personally appreciated the division between toilet and shower). Breakfast was very tasty. Honestly absolutely nothing to complain, would definitely come back.
