Very good and small hotel!
"Excellent breakfast with a very good location! It is a bit hard to get a taxi in the city and especially close to the hotel-but if you are able to walk it is really not a problem. The church next to the hotel likes to ring the bell- starts at 08.00 every morning but we would go back anytime!"
