The rooms are often described as clean and modern, with some being particularly spacious, even featuring bathrooms with double sinks and separate toilet areas. A buffet-style breakfast is generally well-received.

The hotel is conveniently close to the metro station and a short walk to attractions. Staff provided 24-hour reception, so late check-in and early check-out was easy. They stored our luggage after checkout, helpful.
Air conditioning was not working as it was near winter, so I did not have the option to use it.
