Central Location and Well-Equipped Room
clean room convenient location luggage storage useful amenities
My room was quite clean when I arrived. The location proved very convenient for accessing key attractions. I appreciated the provision of luggage storage both before check-in and after check-out. The room included useful amenities such as an iron, an ironing board, and a hairdryer.
The hallways had a noticeable musty smell I found off-putting. It was not a major issue, but I did notice it each time I walked to my room. I wish the hotel could address it.
Dining

Plenty of tea and coffee were available in my room. This was a great bonus and I. The service was efficient, I had a very comfortable experience.

basic stay with significant issues
nasty stench loud noise
the location was fine and close to some attractions.
the room reeked. i think it was coming from the shower drain. it was a nasty stench and even after leaving, i could still smell it in other bathrooms for days after, it was really wired in my nose. also, the noise at night was unbearable because of the nearby bars and clubs.
