Excellent Central Location and Helpful Staff

central locationhelpful staffeasy routes
The location is very central. It allows easy walks to major attractions. Lots of restaurants and bars are also nearby. They showed the easiest routes to the station.
The room was a little noisy because it faced an interior courtyard. I think there were some motors there. These motors started continuously day and night.
Location

The hotel is near the railway station with a walking distance of about 10 minutes. This makes access convenient upon arrival. The hotel provides easy access to popular sites.

Acceptable Location. Several Issues

great locationworn decorpoor cleanliness
The location was great. It was close to many attractions.
The room decor seemed quite worn. The air conditioning did not work well, and the room became uncomfortably warm at night. I found some hairs on the bathroom floor. The cleanliness was not up to par.
