Budget hotel, clean and no frills
Pros:

Hotel is not far from the historic center. Just walking over the bridge. Very clean facilities. Coffee tea are available around the clock. Rate includes a mini bar but breakfast is a separate charge.

Cons:

Room was very small and it was a business class room with a queen size bed
