Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's excellent central location, making it easy to access city attractions, parks, and public transport. Many also appreciated the friendly and helpful staff. However, several guests were disappointed by the small room sizes, uncomfortable beds, and issues with cleanliness, particularly in shared bathrooms. Some found the facilities basic and the kitchen equipment lacking, while others noted problems with the electronic key system. Overall, the hotel is considered suitable for short stays due to its convenience, but improvements in comfort and cleanliness are needed.
