Overall no problem except having mosquitos in the room. Also there was little smell in the room. Maybe due to old building. It wasn’t too bad.
It’s convenient location though and breakfast included.

Good Location with shopping within walking distance. We had three people in our group so we rented the room that had a second bedroom in the loft.
It worked out great! The bathroom was large which also helped. Good value for the money.
We would stay here again.

Great for a city stay
We LOVED our stay in the Alba Hotel. It's only 5 mins from the railway station and 10 mins from all the attractions etc. There is a square real close with loads of bars and restaurants in but the hotel is quiet. Also a supermarket.
The room was nice, the bathroom small but more that adequate for a 4 night city break.

Great hotel
Excellent hotel. All staff very helpful and friendly. The hotel was very clean. It was a 5 minute walk from the train station and a 15 minute walk to the main tourist sights. The breakfast had a good choice. The area around the hotel was good with restaurants very close by.
