Good Stay Near Historical Wonders

convenient locationhelpful stafftaxi servicebroken door
I was happy with the location. It was a short walk to major attractions. The staff stored our bags because we had a late flight. The staff also offered to call us a taxi in the middle of the night (that was very thoughtful).
My room door was not locking from inside the room. I felt unsafe at NIGHT because i was traveling alone.

the location was close to attractions. the tram was also nearby, and , made getting around very simple. breakfast include good variety and they offer free water with dinner which i enjoy. there also was free water in the room, that was a plus.
the hotel did not provide certain items like toothpaste. i found this inconvenient because i expect basic toiletries. also, the blankets did not appear cleaned enough. i think they can improve this

The breakfast lacked variety! it was the same options every day. also, the gym was quite small. There were only a few machines available, and some were out of order. this made it hard to get a good workout. the air conditioning in the room was not very effective. the temperature was difficult to control. the bathroom was also small. The shower was cramped and uncomfortable.
