The room was quite small, limiting movement. Opening the windows required pushing the bed! The noise from the street was constant, disrupting sleep. The lack of air conditioning made the room uncomfortably hot, even with a fan..

The staff was friendly. The location was really good for exploring the area.

The room, a superior double room, felt REALLY small, even with just one suitcase. There wasn't any space to move around without bumping into furniture. I couldn't find a working outlet near the bed, IT WAS inconvenient for charging my phone overnight.
