excellent locationeasy accesshelpful assistancestreet noiseair conditioninghigh price
The hotel is excellently situated near Politeama Square. This location offered easy access to central attractions. The bus stop close to the hotel simplified airport transfers. The staff demonstrated friendliness and provided helpful assistance.
The room's double-glazed windows did little to block out street noise. I found it difficult to adjust the air conditioning temperature. I was surprised by the additional charge for sitting at the rooftop bar (and the high price for small glasses of wine).
