the location was great for walking around the city and exploring. the staff was friendly and helpful, appreciated.

the room i booked was sold as beautiful, but it felt small. the bathroom lacked ventilation, a real inconvenience (i even tried opening a window, but it barely budged!). the temperature was stuck at 24°c, not ideal for sleeping comfortably.

The room was clean! The front desk staff was excellent, and they spoke fluent English. I stayed five nights and needed help with restaurant reservations and train connections. The staff were really good too answer my needs.

The room window could only be opened partially! I could hear people in the corridor from my room. The room was sold as beautiful, but it was small. The bathroom had no ventilation.
