“For a modest price, this spot delivers on location, set right off the pedestrian zone and near the river; the rooms are clean and basic, and while there's no lift to the upper floors or breakfast, the staff are welcoming. It's a practical base, particularly if you're keen to explore the area's nightlife. A solid choice if you value a central location over extensive amenities.”
