Breakfast was very good! I came to breakfast around 8:30 and could enjoy the food without crowds. The location is great as it is close to a metro station that goes directly to the train station. I could easily get around from here.

The air conditioning seemed to be locked. I could only open the window, but I wished I could adjust the temperature.

The location was convenient, fairly close to the center.

The room needed updating. The shower offered inconsistent water temperatures, either too hot or too cold, not ideal after a long day and the water pressure was lacking. It was also inconvenient that no phone was provided in the room to contact reception.
