central locationsmall sizeweak air conditioning
The location was really central. Everything was easy to reach.
The room size was smaller than expected, i felt a bit cramped, and the air conditioning was weak, i struggled to get the room cool enough. the bathroom layout wasn't great either. The sink was tiny! and there was hardly any counter space.

I found the staff greeted me warmly and provided efficient service. the variety at breakfast pleased me, including the option to order hot items. i appreciated the late check-out they happily arranged for me. It was very helpful.
I noticed the absence of doors in some bathrooms could present a privacy issue for certain guests. I found frosted glass separating the spaces instead.

this hotel benefits from its prime spot right in the heart of everything; you can easily reach most major sites by walking a short distance from the front doors which i valued.
