I guess it is all about expectations. I was looking for an inexpensive option not far from the train/bus station and also close to the center. This looked "good enough." The hotel was surprisingly clean, the amenities surprisingly functional, the staff very friendly, and the breakfast very good for something I had thought would just be "good enough." It is not luxurious, mind you, but I certainly can recommend it. Moreover, it is right across the street from what appears to a police "night watch" station... adding to the level of perceived safety.
