New hotel, good value, a bit far but great staff.
Pros:

The hotel is nice, new (in a city with many old buildings) and a good value for the money. The location is quite far from the center, I had not realized it in advance but the neighborhood is considered a safe one, I just took a 20 min uber back and forth. There is a nice cafe right in front. The staff was amazing during my entire stay. I forgot a credit card inside the safe after check out and the manager took it upon himself to send it to my next hotel via boat through a friend without charging me anything. So I had it in 24 hrs. Not many people would do this.

Cons:

Distance from the center
