I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spotless and quite spacious, making for a very comfortable experience. The staff was friendly and helpful, which added to the welcoming atmosphere. However, while the location seemed a bit iffy at first, the overall value for money was decent. On the downside, the dining options were rather limited, especially at breakfast.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while I enjoyed the clean and comfortable rooms, I found the location slightly questionable due to some unpleasant odors in the area. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made a positive difference. However, the dining options left much to be desired, as they were quite poor. Overall, it was decent for the price, but there are certainly areas for improvement.

The hotel is in a convenient location, just a short walk from the metro and some decent restaurants. I found the rooms to be impeccably clean and spacious, which was a big plus. The staff were friendly and offered supportive service, although they struggled a bit with English. Sadly, the dining options were pretty poor overall, but the hotel did provide good value for the price I paid.

The hotel has a friendly staff and offers clean, comfortable rooms, but the location leaves something to be desired as it’s in a sketchy neighborhood. The breakfast was decent, but not very varied. For the price, the overall value is fair, though I wouldn’t say it’s the most ideal spot for a longer stay.

This hotel was a mixed bag for me. While the rooms were clean and really spacious, I found the dining options to be quite lacking. The staff were friendly and helpful, which was a definite plus. However, the location left a lot to be desired since it felt a bit sketchy at times, and the area seemed to be in need of some redevelopment.
