Outside of my room was noisier than Oxford Circus, drunk people fighting and shouting until 2 AM requiring three separate phone calls to reception. I got zero sleep. I honestly have never stayed in a hotel with such continuous and unreasonable noise for so long, leaving me exhausted the next day.

Room was clean but with limited toiletries. Nothing fancy and no frills. Friendly staff. Convenient, right in midst of old town. Parking available for cars.
