The hotel is very close to the historic center. The staff were very nice and helpful. They provided excellent service. Breakfast included a freshly made omelette, which I found quite satisfying.
Corridors were very dark. The room was painted in a dark chocolate color.

An Okay Stay, but Some Issues

strong bleach smelldirty furniture
I found a few things disappointing. My room smelled strongly of bleach when I arrived. (I suspect they overdid it with cleaning products). I also noticed some dirt on the window and dead mosquitos on the walls, which gave the impression that the cleaning wasn't thorough. The furniture on the terrace was wet and dirty too.
