Acceptable Stay with Noticeable Issues

awkward shower curtainnoisy refrigerator
The bathroom had some problems. The shower curtain was awkward and stuck to you. I also noticed a bad smell. The refrigerator was also a little noisy. These issues made the room less comfortable than I hoped.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was close to the metro station.
The reception was often unattended, mainly at night. This felt unsafe. It took a long time to get someone to give us our keys. The shower was badly designed. Water sprayed all over the bathroom because there were no curtains.

Convenient Location and Helpful Staff

local sightshelpful staffgood adviceuseful fridge
The hotel is close to the metro station. This made getting around easy. The staff were helpful and kind! They gave great advice on local sights and directions. A fridge in the room was useful. Air conditioning was really good .
The room doors are old so I could hear hallway noise. It wasn't a major issue though.
