The hotel provides a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms offer a nice balcony but have a super dark window with a view on the bathrooms. The service is helpful but lacks tours or ticket assistance. The location is convenient, near a metro station. However, the dining options are limited to homemade ice cream. Overall, a fair value for money with adequate facilities.
