Acceptable Stay

helpful staff fantastic location wonderful bathroom lack air room temperature noise disturbance

The bathroom was wonderful with a bathtub. The staff at the reception was very helpful too. The location is unbeatable.. it is right in the mix, yet quiet. I loved the space the room offered.

My room did not have air conditioning, I did not pay attention to that detail. The night temperatures were around 25-27 degrees. The room reminded me of an oven, and there was a bar directly below the room and the window.

adequate stay with notable drawbacks

absent air conditioning limited reception

the location was convenient for accessing central areas.

the absence of air conditioning was a significant issue given the warm weather it made sleeping difficult i also found the limited reception hours inconvenient as there was no staff available during certain times affecting assistance with issues. the room was quite small which detracted from overall comfort.

no air conditioning small fan

The location was acceptable, since it was close to many attractions.

The room became very hot during the day. There was no air conditioning and only a small fan provided some relief. It made sleeping difficult.

The hotel is centrally located near the main train station. I found a variety of restaurants close to the hotel. The breakfast offered a satisfying selection of food. The room was very clean and a comfortable size.

I found a lot of noise from nearby restaurants late into the night. This noise made it difficult to sleep with the windows open. The room lacked air conditioning and it was quite warm.
