amazing stay!

tourist spots fast wifi complimentary drinks

The hotel is close to main tourist spots so sightseeing was easy! the rooms are very clean and the staff is very attentive, it is great. the wifi connection was fast. It was a huge plus. the complimentary drinks and snacks available all day were a thoughtful touch!

the beds were too firm, that was not what i prefer. i found it difficult to relax fully. the room was also quite loud due to the location, i wish it was quieter.

decent stay near historical sites

city map quick service outdated decor harsh lighting

The staff were helpful with directions to nearby attractions. they provided a city map and suggested public transport routes. the service was quick. When we requested extra water, it arrived within minutes.

The room had outdated decor. the lighting was harsh with only white lights, not very relaxing. the double bed was smaller than expected. It felt more like a bed for children.

mixed feelings about this stay

elevator shaft constant noise

The staff was polite. That's a plus, i guess.

My room was right next to the elevator shaft, so i heard the elevator constantly. It was super annoying and made it hard to sleep, i wouldn't book here again because of the noise. the noise was really bad at night. Earplugs didn't even help.
