Fantastic experience!

metro stationreally good friendlinessgood valueroom location
The hotel's proximity to the metro station proved useful. It made exploring local attractions very easy. The staff members displayed really good friendliness and professionalism, ready to help with anything. Breakfast provided good value for money, satisfying my morning hunger. The room location was very convenient, assisting in getting around.
The gym lacked a full range of equipment. It included only two treadmills and two dumbbells. I wished there were more weight options available.

Excellent Location and Friendly Staff

friendly staffquick supportclean roomexcellent location
My experience was positive. The photos accurately reflected the hotel's condition. The staff were friendly and provided quick support and guidance. I found the room clean, which I appreciated, and the location allows walking distance to major attractions. It's a short walk to the metro station (maybe four minutes).
The soundproofing in my room wasn't perfect, and I could occasionally hear noises from the hallway, a minor issue (nothing a pair of earplugs couldn't solve).
