We enjoyed our stay at this hotel because of its peaceful location, which allowed us to have a good night's sleep. Furthermore, the breakfast served was amazing as it consisted of freshly scrambled eggs, cereal, and bread. Additionally, the staff were very friendly and accommodating towards us, which made our experience even better.
Not obvious to find.

This hotel is a hidden gem, offering a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle. the rooms are spacious and nicely renovated, with modern bathrooms. You'll also appreciate the beautiful dining room, adorned with artifacts discovered during renovation. the friendly staff go above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. Plus, you'll have the option to relax by the inviting pool on hot days.
Some guests mentioned the need for the hotel to provide coffee/tea and snacks throughout the day.

The breakfast had a decent variety of choices and the staff was helpful. The room was adequate enough with a comfortable bed. The location was also good, just a short walk away from a supermarket and bus stop.
The hotel was not in a very safe area and it was quite loud at night. The shower didn't have hot water and there was no Wifi in the room, only in the lobby.

We had a great new year stay at this charming B&B. the rooms were very comfortable and offered a nice balcony with beautiful views. the breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed the unique display of cultural artifacts in the dining area. the location was great for a quiet stay, and it was only a short walk or cheap cab ride to the city center.
The walk to the city center included a noisy and unattractive avenue with heavy traffic, so a cab ride was often necessary. the occasional low water pressure in the showers was a minor issue.
