the hotel has an excellent location near the railway station and the citadel. i found lots of bars and restaurants close by, very convenient for dining options. the staff were helpful and friendly (bryony and lena especially).
the building had scaffolding around it and the hotel name was hard to see. i think locating it would be difficult even without scaffolding. it was a friday night and street noise was very loud until 4:00 am.
