Hotel Jane
Breakfast super affordable, good location just outside the city so it’s walkable to see the sights. Big beds (perhaps slightly too big for the room) but overall a very pleasant and affordable stay!

Hotel Bodoni
Breakfast area too small and busy. Had to wait for a table. Breakfast limited but ok. It’s a cheap hotel in a central location. Rooms very faded and basic but does what it says on the tin
