Great Location and Helpful Staff

convenient locationmany restaurantshelpful staff

The location was very convenient. It was close to a shopping area. Many restaurants are located near the accommodation. The metro station is within walking distance. The bus stop and taxi stand are as well. The staff was helpful in answering questions.

Limited space was available. The room had a window, but a coat of frost mostly blocked the view. Stepping on a stand is necessary to enter the bathroom, which could challenge people with mobility issues.

The location was amazing. It was close to most of the main attractions. I found the staff very friendly and ready to help.

I was a bit disappointed with the room. The window was frosted, so I could not see out. I felt a bit like I was in a jail cell.

decent stay overall

convenient locationhelpful staffsmall roomnoise isolation

i found the location to be very convenient. it was easy to find with a bus stop right outside (quite handy). the staff was also helpful whenever i had questions.

the room was smaller than rooms i stayed at in other locations. i had a medium bag with me and it was too big for the room. sound really travelled through the walls and i could hear everything.
