Pros:

The hotel has a great location. In just a couple of minutes, you can walk to the main square. There are also plenty of restaurants/cafes on the same street

Cons:

The bathroom was in poor condition. The shower hose had almost no water pressure because of leaks, and the rain shower did not work properly.
The bed was small, with only one sheet and one pair of slippers for two people. The soundproofing was very poor, and street noise could be heard clearly, especially at night.
