The location is great, I could walk to many attractions. The metro was also easily accessible (very convenient!). I found two self-service laundromats nearby, which helped a lot on my trip.
The paint needed touching up. I saw chips in the paint and grubby marks on touch points.

the staff where very lovely and accommodating. i really liked the free tea and coffee in the lobby. the location is good for seeing the area.
our room was a bit small for two people. the bathroom didn't had much light in it, it was very dark. the breakfast was not the best, so many foods were out of stock and we needed to wait for top ups.
