The nice thing about this place is the location. It's right next to the train station. There isn't any 24 reception. And it's more of the basic hotel. I imagine hostels to be more of a social atmosphere, but there is no common gathering place. It's just the rooms and the bathrooms. The nice thing about it was tour of... More

A very nice, clean and all-equipped room close to the main station and to the center of the city. You can reach historical place in Just 10 minutes or a bit more by walk. But the strongest point is the owner and the staff, kind, polite and easy going, that will make you feel as in your home. We suggest... More

Room was charming and so was the staff. Near the train station. We went almost everywhere by foot. Lots of helpful tips from the staff (where to go, eat, etc.) Will definitely go there again!

The guesthouse is a short walk from the train station, and the owner met us at the door of the building based on my email telling him what time our train would arrive.

We rented two rooms for one night and this was the first time I had shared a bath. I was apprehensive but the level of cleanliness and coziness of the place erased all my apprehensions. This is an economical place to stay. It is not fancy but the hospitality of Melusina and her husband made it a wonderful place to... More
