Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praise the hotel's central location and proximity to shops, restaurants, and attractions, making it convenient for exploring the city. However, many reviews express dissatisfaction with the service, citing unfriendly and inattentive staff. Cleanliness is a recurring issue, with reports of dirty rooms, bathrooms, and bedding.

Overall, while the location is a highlight, improvements are needed in service, cleanliness, bathroom facilities, and amenities.
