It is well worth staying in this hotel for its location right at the edge of the old city and not far from the university area. The rooms we had (deluxe double, corner suite) also were light and reasonably sized, clean, with parquet floors, OK linens and good toiletries, as well as good coffee and tea making equipment. But the decor is old, the carpeting in the halls looks shabby, the lobby ceiling is low, -- in short, this is not a charming hotel from the outside or from its public spaces. Would we stay here again? We just might, given how incredibly convenient it was. Some of the staff were a bit brusque, but others were very nice and helpful.
PS Breakfast offered a huge variety of foods, though quality of breads, pastries, etc was not top class, for example. That said, you could get yourself a reasonable quality meal, including by ordering eggs - just do not expect a farm to table artisan experience. less
