The hotel's rooms were clean and comfortable, with good showers and toilets. My room was lovely and bright, featuring a wall of glass leading to a balcony, although the views were poor and there was no balcony. The location was very busy and noisy, especially during weekend nights, which made it hard to get a good night's sleep. The dining experience offered eclectic choices, with the best pizza being a standout option. The hotel staff were always very helpful, and the service was commendable. However, the hotel's insistence on staying open until 4 am contributed to the noise. Despite this, the value for money was decent considering the amenities available.

The hotel is conveniently located on a busy street close to the center, which may affect sleep quality due to noise. The rooms, while hidden away down corridors, were musty during my one-night stay. The staff were always very helpful, and room service was available. The dining options included high-quality dishes, but the street noise persisted until about 4 am.

The hotel's rooms were clean, had good showers and toilets, and my room was lovely and bright with one glass wall leading onto a balcony. The price was very basic and the dark interior wasn't an issue. The service was always very helpful, and room service was great. The location was very busy and noisy, especially during weekend nights, but it is close to the town center on a street known for medical clinics. The dining menu reflected a mix of greens, local dishes, and morning cereals, best enjoyed from outside during nighttime. The facilities were satisfactory.
