Hotel Manofa is appreciated for its convenient location, a short walk from the central train station and many restaurants. Guests often point out the free coffee and tea machine available at reception. Rooms are typically clean, and while some guests have noted that rooms facing reception can be noisy, the hotel's proximity to the square and a steak restaurant offering a 10% discount are commonly seen as a plus.

amazing locationwalking distanceuncomfortable pillowsthin blankets

The location was fantastic. It's right in the city. i appreciated that it was within walking distance to shopping areas and most attractions. plus, the train station was close by.

The pillows were just not good. They were so uncomfortable. also, the blankets were too thin for my liking. i noticed a cigarette smell, possibly coming from outside or other rooms. That bothered me a bit.
