satisfactory stay

convenient location clean room public transport no air conditioning traffic noise street view

the location was convenient. it was close to many shops and restaurants. the room itself was spacious and clean. i especially appreciated the free public transport passes.

my room lacked air conditioning. this made the room hot. opening the windows resulted in traffic noise. the street view was not ideal.

convenient stay near the metro

metro station transport pass public transport

the hotel is located steps away from the metro station. i received a complimentary transport pass upon arrival for local travel. the provided pass was very useful for navigating the area efficiently. the hotel's proximity to public transport greatly simplified exploring the city.

the absence of air conditioning made the room quite warm. i needed to keep the windows open at night. street noise disrupted sleep quality.
