This hotel is perfectly located, a short walk from the train station if you arrive that way, and 100 meters from a stop of the #7 tram that would bring you straight from the west port. Many city landmarks are close by, including the orthodox cathedral, outdoor market, and Esplanade Park. Staff was very friendly, the room was nice and not too small, and the included breakfast was excellent. Overall it was a great value and perfect stay for us, highly recommended.

The hotel is in the most central location imaginable. The hotel staff was the most helpful and accommodating. When they learned that we will have a very early check out they prepared boxed breakfasts and called a cab the get us to the airport.
