dark bathroom confusing navigation
the air CONDITIONING worked Well, a necessary feature given the climate.
I had a few concerns . the bathroom lacked adequate lighting near the sink. It was quite dark. getting to my room on the third floor involved navigating what was like two combined buildings, confusing at first. i wish there was better signage.

The room I got was smaller than I expected. The pictures online showed a larger space. I felt a bit misled. The street outside was noisy at night. It was hard to sleep well with people shouting till late. This affected my rest.

Central Stay with Great Service

central location comfortable lounge helpful staff
The location was indeed central. I walked to many attractions. I found a comfortable lounge area available before my room was ready. It featured internet access. The staff was helpful with directions. They helped me a lot.
My room faced an internal courtyard, and there was some unpleasant odor that sometimes made it into the room.

The breakfast buffet offered a nice variety of items, including fresh pastries and fruits, all of excellent quality, and the barista crafted cappuccinos every morning. It was a sweet touch. I found the service to be attentive.
