unbeatable location!

quiet locationspacious roomcomfortable bedcentral location
i enjoyed the excellent location! the hotel is right in the centre. it was also quiet because the hotel is tucked around the corner. my room was spacious with a huge comfortable bed.
the lighting in my room was a bit dim, it had many small lamps instead of a central bright light.

mixed experience in a central location

The location was quite central. I could easily walk to most attractions.
My room was not what i expected. The slanted floor seemed like i was on a ship, and the bed was so hard, i woke up multiple times each night.
