Excellent Location and Helpful Staff

excellent locationhelpful stafflimited space

I am grateful for the excellent location. It was near the metro and several restaurants. The staff are friendly and helpful. They gladly assisted me with directions and local information. I appreciate this level of service. The hotel is secure and I felt safe during my entire stay.

My room, a Single Room washbasin only, was quite small. There was limited space for luggage. This made it a bit difficult to organize my belongings. More space would greatly improve comfort.

the hotel's location is convenient. i appreciated being right next to the metro stop. the staff were friendly, and the room had everything i needed. a desk made working easy.

My room felt tilted on an angle. It was strange. i could hear everything going on next door. The sound insulation seemed poor.
