    The hotel was incredibly nice. The room was very clean and well taken care of! The staff was very friendly and helpful, whenever I had questions about the room or otherwise. I would say the pictures don't do justice to the room I was staying in...

    The hostal had a great atmosphere, friendly staff and a great host in Fenton. Great shower. The roof terrace was a bonus. It was good to have use of a well equipped kitchen. Location was good in centre of town but very quiet. Hope to return.
