Right on the main square, this moderately priced hotel has a winning location, but the rooms are a bit dark and some only have windows to the corridors – if you open them to let in light you also get hit with noise. Most are generally cool, at least. Many of the bathrooms are tight for space. Pricier rooms have air-con.
