Comfortable stay near old town
Pros:

Excellent location just a short pedestrianised walk from the old centre, in a vibrant, safe neighbourhood with excellent eating options. The room was large and with high ceiling, efficient A/C, good wifi, decent shower room. The breakfast was excellent with good range of local dishes, fruit and plant-based options, and great coffee with secluded outdoor terrace.

Cons:

Could be more power sockets.

Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

For what I pay nothing was I expected, the room is in bad shape, parking a nightmare, they offered breakfast included and it was not.
This is a scam do not go there.
The toilett paper is very limited so you better bring your own.
It looks like a dracula house.
