adequate stay in convenient location
convenient location helpful staff rooftop terrace separate bathroom small room limited space
The location was very convenient for visiting historical sites. it was a short walk to major attractions. the staff were helpful with directions and recommendations for local restaurants. i appreciated the breakfast on the rooftop terrace. It provided a pleasant start to the day.
the shared bathrooms were located on a different floor. this required going down stairs each time. the room felt a bit small. there was not much space for luggage.

the location was great. it was close to many attractions and public transport was nearby. the staff was friendly and they gave me a towel because i forgot mine. breakfast changed a bit everyday and it was great.
the beds were super thin. they were also hard. the room i stayed in was too small for 6 women. it was hard to find any common space.
