The hotel's location was really convenient. It made exploring very easy. I also appreciated that they cleaned the rooms regularly and kept them very tidy. Breakfast on the terrace was a treat. It featured a really nice view of historical landmarks.

The noise from the street was quite noticeable, even late at night. The bathroom could use some updates. I noticed the marble in the shower had some soap scum buildup, and one area was taped. It was not good.

convenient locationsmall roomloud music

the location was quite convenient for seeing the main sights.

The room i got was way too small it was barely big enough to move around in. The bathroom felt cramped as well. the noise at night was a real problem. A nearby restaurant played loud music until late, and it was hard to sleep even with the windows closed.

the location was really good, i will give them that. but the room that they called 'beautiful' was actually pretty small. i had two suitcases and barely space to open them. the bathroom was also tight. the wardrobe space was ridiculous, not enough room for my clothes. the room felt very basic, i felt let down.
