a decent stay

central location fine view faulty ac early maintenance

the location was indeed very central. i especially liked that the room had a fine view of the palace. the staff was also quite friendly and helpful. we were able to check in early, a lifesaver after our long flight.

the ac barely worked and the management said there was nothing they could do. there was also too much maintenance in front of the building. it started at 6:30 am every day and was very loud.

poor soundproofing missing label

the room was not very soundproof. i could hear noises from everywhere. also, the details were lacking, especially considering the price. for example the shower had two containers with different colored liquids, but there was no label to indicate which was shower gel and which was shampoo..

unbearable noise jarring noise

the location was acceptable. it provided easy access to the metro.

the noise from the restaurant downstairs was unbearable. one night, a conference event took place in the restaurant. the staff started dragging equipment before 7:00 am and continued after midnight (this was so annoying). the noise was jarring and made it difficult to sleep.

The location was superb I appreciated the close proximity to key attractions. The staff provided excellent service and were always ready to assist with directions and recommendations. I was pleased with the room upgrade I received I got a great view. The building had a rooftop terrace and it gave an amazing view of the Palace.

The light within the room could have been better I found it a bit dim for some tasks.
