    Good location, the beds were comfortable and it was fairly quiet but the shower and toilet are in the dorm. The communal area is nice but it is open so it's hot. The breakfast buffet was very good.

    The location is the best. Close to the main attractions and still less crowded than in the old town. The breakfast is amazing, with many choices and the view to the church is beautiful. In the room I stayed in there was also a balcony with chairs...
