Awesome Experience!

central locationgreat soundproofingvaried breakfasthelpful service
The hotel's central location made sightseeing super easy! I walked everywhere! The soundproofing was very nice. I slept soundly despite being in the city center. The breakfast offered a great variety. The staff always provided helpful service.
I found the pillows a bit too soft for my liking though I managed.

The hotel is perfectly situated for exploring main attractions. It's also conveniently close to the train station, about a short walk, and I didn't use public transport. This area has plenty of dining and shopping options.

Acceptable Stay with Some Disappointments

misleading informationcontrolled air conditioning
I encountered a few issues . The laundry service was not as advertised. I had to go to a laundromat instead of using an in-hotel service. The air conditioning was centrally controlled, so I could not adjust it myself even when the room felt stuffy (I prefer to have control over the temperature). The receptionist suggested I open the window, but that wasn't ideal.

Acceptable location. Some issues WERE noticeable.

excellent locationrude staffsmall room
The location was excellent. It was just a short walk from all the major must-sees.
The front desk STAFF were rude, and I found them unhelpful with small requests such as extra soap. The rooms were small, the bathrooms even smaller, and I received only one towel per person for three days.
