I found the staff helpful. They gave very good information on visiting and enjoying the city. The room was comfortable and offered a nice view. The rooftop restaurant and terrace were nice.

The room was really small. The king bed room had barely any space. The bathroom was huge compared to the room. I also noticed the roof top bar.
