8/10 Very Good! (717 reviews)
The hotel is around 20 minutes away from the Old Town and pretty straightforward. The room provided to us was fairly spacious. There is no AC and we couldn't find a fan, but the weather was very refreshing so we left the windows open. The breakfast buffet was good and had various options.
