Solid Choice for a Short Stay

metro stationclean roomefficient staff
The location is close to the metro station. This was one of the key reasons I booked it. My room was very clean. It was cleaned well daily. The staff was polite and efficient, and I liked that.
Access to the rooms on the upper floors is only via a stone staircase. This could be a problem with mobility issues.
