It's a charming budget option, to be sure.

"In a characterful old building in a prime location, Amaru is deservedly popular... Rooms in the outer courtyard are noisy, and those at the back are newest."

Downstairs rooms don't get much light and can be dungeon-like, so be sure to reserve those on the second floor.
