Great location and adequate rooms with no frills. Main problem for us was lots of narrow winding stairs and no elevator. With suitcases that was an ordeal coming and going. Nice restaurant on the premises.

Do Not Stay Here ! This is not a hotel it is a hostel, the listing is false and they even say that on property. There is no elevator and MANY narrow stairs, the rooms are small twin beds with tiny comforters, we had no heat and were given space heaters which blew the fuse leaving no power in the room. It was not clean, no shower only tub in our room, noise from bar next door all night, staff was VERY rude on arrival, breakfast is cold food and not great, felt unsafe for fire risk , would never recommend
