A pleasant stay with friendly staff, excellent cleanliness, a great breakfast and a very good shower!
Pros:

The rooms were very clean, and everything was well maintained. The shower was excellent, with great water temperature and very good water pressure. We also really enjoyed the breakfast, which was delicious and had a good selection. The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay.

Cons:

The entrance to the hotel is not very inviting, and at first, we had some difficulty figuring out where to enter. The rooms are also a little outdated, although they were very clean. Additionally, the air conditioning was quite noisy during the night.
