I appreciated the hotel's location. It was perfect. The bus stop to the airport was directly across the square. I also liked that the archaeological museum was very close! The bed was very comfortable and the shower was amazing.
The bathtub had mold around the edge. The vinyl where it met the tub was particularly affected. I noticed flecks of mold floating in the water.

the location was acceptable near the archaeological museum.
The room i booked was far from soundproof. I heard everything. noise from neighboring rooms and the hallway was constant. sleep was impossible as doors slammed and people shouted late into the night. Earplugs did nothing.
