The hotel is in a prime location, right in the center of the lively area and close to everything else a tourist could want. The rooms are spacious with independent bathrooms and excellent air conditioning facilities, offering great value for money. The service, including convenient laundry options, was exemplary. However, the dining experience, particularly shareable appetizers, fell short. Overall, a modern and comfortable stay with a few minor downsides.
