The staff is super friendly. The location is great! It is close to shops and restaurants. Breakfast is good too. It is very important for me.
The bathroom was not very clean. It was noisy at night. I think this because of the nearby restaurant. The small windows near the floor don't give me a good view.

A Good Hotel, but Could Be Better

friendly staffeasy checkgood locationunclean bedsheetcorridor noisedirt
The hotel had friendly staff and easy check in. The location was a great perk. Close to many attractions. The room had complimentary tea and coffee, a nice touch.
The bed sheet was not clean. There were dirt and hair on it. I could hear noises in the corridor from my room, even late at night and early in the morning.
