The hotel's location is fantastic. It's very close to all the main attractions and public transport! the staff was helpful and attentive, always ready to assist with any questions or requests i had. i especially liked the breakfast, it had a very nice selection of fresh items!
the tv was older, i think removing it would free up more space since it is not used that much. the street was a bit steep, especially when i had my luggage.
