The staff seemed nice enough. The location is pretty central.
my room overlooked some kind of service stairwell, and it felt really dark and small, there wasn't even a proper window. i had hoped for something better, especially given the price.

The staff was kind and helpful. I received a good welcome drink upon arrival. The air conditioning in the room was a welcome escape from the outside heat. I also enjoyed the room layout and facilities.
The room service options were fewer than advertised, only breakfast was available . I also couldn't book a spa treatment.

the breakfast was a real highlight. i ordered from the menu, and everything was freshly prepared. the staff remembered my coffee order after the first day, a nice touch!!! the location was also very convenient for exploring the main tourist sites.
the hallways had worn carpet, a small detail that could use some attention.
