The room felt quite dated. The bed had a faint smell, like it wasn't dried properly. I was hoping for a more modern feel (given the price, perhaps?).

I was initially assigned a room with a view of the ventilation shaft. daria, a helpful employee, assisted me in changing rooms. the location is central, with access to explore. i found the staff to be friendly and helpful, especially when i needed assistance with directions! live music each night was a welcome bonus.
i found the ambient noise level somewhat noticeable, especially with music from the bar extending until midnight.
