Good stay at this unpretentious but very well located hotel.
Pros:

Excellent location right at the heart of the old town, overlooking the main waterway. The downside is the restaurant crowd & bustle, but thankfully the room had A/C and one could close the window for silence. The view from my roof window was spectacular and I spent quite a while just looking out at the old port. Very professional and friendly staff at reception. I'd come back.

Cons:

The rooms under the roof was hot when I entered, but quickly turned cool thanks to the air conditioner. The stairs squeaked: charming but embarrassing when leaving early! Sound proofing could be better with room next door.
