It is a bit/quite outdated, the room was quite small and the breakfast, for the 4 things available, seemed very expensive to me. (15 euros per person)

Location is on a central square. Easy to walk to a lot of stuff.

Hotel is very dated and needs updating. Long staircase to reach reception. Staff seemed very indifferent until the last morning when the receptionist was wonderful. Rooms are ok but bathrooms offer little privacy and the rooms are very small.
