charming stay near the metro

convenient location helpful staff working air conditioning

i found the location quite convenient. it was a short walk to the metro (just a couple of minutes!). the staff was nice and helpful, answering my questions about local attractions. my room was clean and the air conditioning worked well, a relief after a day of sightseeing.

the towels were a bit worn, i think a refresh of those would be good.

Rooms

the room provided basic amenities, including a television and air conditioning, definitely appreciated (especially after long walks). the size was adequate for a single traveler, and the daily cleaning service kept things tidy.

Dining

9/10

while there wasn't a full restaurant, i noticed a small café nearby that served coffee and pastries. there also seemed to be several local restaurants within walking distance, so finding food wasn't a problem at all.
