the staff was lovely and very kind. the housekeeper did a very good job. i found the bed very comfortable (i slept like a baby!). the breakfast options were plentiful.

i noticed that the walls were quite thin, and i could hear some noise from neighboring rooms. i recommend thicker walls for future improvements.

the staff was very friendly and helpful. there was a great variety at breakfast. the air-conditioned room was amazing during the heat wave. the location is close to the train station and in walking distance from main attractions.

the room that was allocated seemed newly renovated however it was stuffy still smelling paint. the room didn't looked cleaned as there were hair and dirt on the floor, hair again on sheets and towels. even though towels were changed every day it came with hair, so i was not happy.

The location is quite convenient. It is near the train station. The breakfast had a good variety of food options (especially the pastries). The room was clean upon arrival.

My room faced the street and suffered from bad isolation. Noise from the outside was disruptive. The shower lacked shelves. I had to place my toiletries on the floor.
