I appreciate the hotel. I found the location very convenient, especially for accessing transport links. Breakfast provided great options, especially for vegetarians. The staff was really nice and helpful.

The rooms were too hot and lacked air-conditioning. I had to open windows for cooler air. This exposed me to too much street noise.
