Acceptable, but with notable issues

acceptable locationdamaged curtainsfaulty shower

The location was acceptable for accessing some historical sites.

I had issues with the room. The shower did not work properly, and the curtains were damaged (I really wanted a dark room). This made sleep difficult as sunlight entered early in the morning.

FANTASTIC Location, Really good Staff!

ideal locationfriendly stafffresh towelsminor touch-ups

The location is PERFECT, just a short walk to main attractions. The staff was really friendly and very helpful throughout my stay. I got a clean room daily with fresh towels, a great touch. OH, and I met some really nice fellow travelers at the hotel!

The rooms need minor touch-ups (like tightening a faucet), but overall it didn't detract from my experience.

The hotel boasts fast internet access and offers convenient transport links to major sites. The roof terrace provided lovely views (especially at sunset!) and made it easy to relax after a long day.
