“The location is very central and convenient, close to public transport, shops, and restaurants. My room was spacious with a large bathroom featuring a separate walk-in shower, bathtub, and toilet. The bathroom products were high quality, and the Wi-Fi was free, fast, and had excellent coverage. I was able to book a smoking room, and the antique ruins below the lobby are unusual and interesting.”
