ideal locationwalking distancerooftop viewdated roombroken showermissing switches
The hotel location was indeed ideal for seeing local attractions. Many tourist spots were within reasonable walking distance. The breakfast offered good variety and a rooftop view to start the day.
The room seemed somewhat dated (I think they need some maintenance). The shower was a bit broken, I noticed a strange tile covering the drain. Some lights were not working properly.
