convenient location friendly staff free baggage intense noise poor suggestion
I found the location to be really convenient. I could easily walk to many attractions. The staff acted quickly to resolve any issues I had. They also allowed me to check my baggage for free, so I could enjoy my first day.
The noise was quite intense. From 9:30 PM, it reminded me of I was next to a building site. I told reception, and they suggested I should have contacted them during the night. That was not useful.

The location was acceptable. Everything I needed was a short walk from the hotel.
The reception area looked shabby, I did not expect that. My room featured old furniture, and cleanliness needed more attention.
