This is a little old style boutique hotel - not one of the big expensive flashy chains, but clean, comfortable and above all, very very friendly. They discovered early on that I was a tea drinker and kept me in refills all day long. It was very convenient for my purpose; to be walking distance to the venue of a concert I was attending. If I was just going as a tourist, I probably would have preferred to stay on the other side of the river, but that would have been walking distance to the bazaar and the sites, and being near the concert was more important to me. And I probably would have shopped even more if I'd been closer to the bazaar; even where I was, I blew my spending budget.
