Very nice hotel
Pros:

Hotel is very nice. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Location in the heart of the city and just a minute walk to the bus stop where Flybus stops for transportation to the airport. Kitchen was available in the room. Bedroom is separate. Bed is comfortable not too hard and not too soft. Excellent choice!

Cons:

The code box to enter the room was not illuminated. Had to use my phone flashlight to enter the pin to access the room.

Le petit déjeuner ne proposait presque rien et n’était pas compris dans le prix de la chambre qui est déjà excessif .
