I stayed for two nights at Philos Hotel, which I found to be a decent option for the price. The room was clean and comfortable, although it lacked an iron and my request for one seemed to be misunderstood. The breakfast had a broader selection than most hotels, but it ended fairly early, which was a bit inconvenient.
