mixed feelings about this hotel
separate building no lift
the location was very central, a short walk to the city center.
my room was not in the main building, it was in an annex. i found out after checking in that my room was in a separate building, it felt disconnected. also, there was no lift to reach my room, i had to climb several flights of stairs with heavy luggage (it was not comfortable at all).

bad service no air conditioning
the location was by the riverside , conveniently located to explore. there was parking onsite , but thankfully we secured a spot.
We have never had such a bad experience of a hotel before. the service and attitude of the staff seemed bad. they all need training for giving good service. the rooms we booked were not the same as shown on the website . They have no air conditioning.
