central location sweet options savory options low airflow limited space sewer smell
The location is very nice! it is just a few minutes from the train station. it is also an easy walk to the main sights, i mean everything is right there. the breakfast had so many options, both sweet and savory. the bathroom was modern and super clean. I loved it!
The air conditioning did not work as well as i hoped. there wasn't much airflow in the room, we could not get cool. the room itself was quite small, it was a bit hard to move around. The space was limited. the hotel, well it had an odor, a bad smell, especially in the elevator and hallways. it reminded me of sewer gas, i was not happy with it.
