The hotel is located conveniently in the heart of the old city, making it easy to explore all the major sightseeings on foot. The rooms have a small terrace but have old fraying decor. The service offered is decent with available room service and housekeeping. The dining experience is satisfactory, although limited in options. The overall value for money is fair, given the central location and basic facilities.
