Despite the fact that we had booked over a month in advance (confirmed and paid); they were overbooked the first night we were there and put us in a dumpy overflow room down a long dark alley in a noisy courtyard with no internet. We complained and they moved us to a better room, but in the same location. The... More

Everyone was very friendly and helped us with anything we asked, from booking train tickets... More
