Not really a hotel problem, but something was happening outside in the market every night Into the late hours of the night. I stayed here multiple times in the past, this was the first time the outside noise kept me awake. Otherwise clean and very friendly.

On the positive side, the room was spacious and clean, which made my stay quite comfortable. Restaurants and shops are also on a walking distance. However, a major disadvantage was the noise from outside. Even with the doors and windows closed, it was quite loud, which made it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. Overall, while the hotel has its merits, the noise issue is something to consider if you're a light sleeper.
