I recently stayed at a hotel that had some really great features, like a perfect location in the heart of the Old Town and friendly staff who made me feel welcome. The rooms were spacious and decent, but I had some trouble with noise from a nearby disco that kept me awake at night. The dining was a lovely experience in the morning, but there were just a few hiccups with the service. Overall, it was a good value for money considering the prime location and comfortable amenities.
