The staff provided complimentary coffee during my early arrival. They also stored my luggage while i explored the city. I appreciated the discount for hotel guests at the on site restaurant. I enjoyed dinner there.

The room lacked a door to the bathroom, which affected privacy. This was especially noticeable when the room door remained open. The shower area had limited privacy as well.

the breakfast had plenty of variety. the location meant i didn't have to spend any money on public transport to get around. the receptionist kindly had my room ready early so i could freshen up and get some rest.

the room lacked drawers or shelves for clothing. i lived out of my cases . the glass door separating the toilet from the shower could be frosted to save embarrassment.

The breakfast was possibly the best I encountered in a hotel of this class. The hotel location is excellent for exploring the area. I felt safe in the area. The staff was helpful with my requests.

The room was hot with non-functioning air conditioning. It faced a walled courtyard with large garbage bins beneath. The windows in my room didn't open. The room was unacceptable.
