The hotel staff are friendly. The rooms are nice and clean. From the balcony, you have a nice view of the action on the street near the clock. The locked door and camera seem to be helpful. The police are usually always in the area as well. I had a great visit and will stay again.

The hotel was close to the Clock Tower where we would meet for the tours. That made it very convenient. Our biggest issue was the noise at night and the small bathrooms.

This was an affordable option within the walled city. However the room was much smaller than I imagined and there was no soundproofing. If you are not staying up until 2:00-3:00 am and like to sleep this place may not be for you. Sounds like the other guests were in our room and hearing other have sex is an awkward experience. Some street noise, but mainly from the other guests. No window in the room was a surprise as well.
