Acceptable stay near the center

convenient locationfriendly staffhelpful staffsmall roomno air conditioningnight noise
The hotel is very close to the bus and train stations. This made transportation easy (I didn't have to use a taxi). The staff were friendly and helpful with directions.
My room was on the smaller side. There was no air conditioning, only a table fan. Loud noises from outside were noticeable at night.

The hotel has a beautiful design and is clean. The staff members were friendly and always had a smile. The location is very central.
The bathroom fan was quite loud and seemed to run constantly. The room lacked air conditioning, uncomfortably warm during the night. The window only opened slightly, so little ventilation was available.
