Satisfactory City Stay

great location helpful hostess nice view exposed stones

The location was great, close to everything I wanted to see. The included breakfast offered a nice view and plenty of sunlight. The hostess was particularly helpful with suggestions for local spots. The room had walls with exposed large stones that I thought were very cool.

The street could get a little noisy on some nights because of nearby clubs. Ear plugs helped.

Location

9/10

The hotel is centrally located in the old part of town, with access to attractions. This positioning makes sightseeing convenient, and the area maintains a relatively quiet atmosphere considering its proximity to the city center.

faulty door lock uncleaned room

The staff helped me store my bags there.

The door lock didn't work properly. It was ALWAYS a trial to lock and unlock. I asked the manager about it, but NOTHING was done. I was very frustrated because the room wasn't cleaned during my 3-day stay, even though I left around 9:30 each day and returned around 2 pm.

a decent stay

perfect atmosphere good location noisy street poor tap

the location i find was good in terms of sightseeing and access to transportation. staffs were friendly and helpful when i needed something. the room we got had perfect atmosphere. i wish i could have stayed there longer.

the street can be very noisy at night, it is because it is close to many disco spots. the bathroom i have to say was poorly furbished and the tap didn't work well. i could not get it to function properly, a hassle.

Just okay stay at city center

late noise tiny shower

I was a little disappointed with the room. The sound isolation was not good. The noise from the nearby clubs kept me awake until late at night. The shower box was tiny too. It needs maintenance.
