Fantastic Stay Near Everything!

The hotel is located close to a metro station, about 100 meters away in front of a church. I found the breakfast selection very nice with a good choice of juices, eggs, and pastries. The location is near the shopping street (I found Sephora and FootLocker!). The staff were helpful.

Clean and Convenient Stay

Location proved convenient. It was close to the metro station providing easy access to attractions. I found the room clean. Daily room service ensured everything stayed neat. Breakfast offered a decent selection. Staff showed helpful attitude when I needed assistance.
I noted absence of a mini-fridge in room. A small refrigerator would allow storing drinks or snacks, especially useful on longer visits. This addition should enhance convenience.
