The hotel's rooms were not as depicted in the pictures, with small beds and no hot water. The lack of soundproofing was noticeable with voices from neighboring rooms audible at midnight. Despite these drawbacks, the helpful service stood out, especially in resolving payment issues efficiently. The location was decent, situated in a busy area with easy access to shops, Metro, and Trams. The dining options, though limited, were considered acceptable. Overall, the facilities met basic requirements but did not exceed expectations.

The hotel was located near main metro and bus stations, making it very flexible for travelers. The rooms were small with no view, not as depicted in the photos, and not very clean. The service was really helpful, especially in resolving a billing issue promptly, although not entirely fluent in English. The central location was fit for purpose but in a busy and sometimes noisy area with a mixed reputation. The dining options were limited, but for the price, it was acceptable. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory with room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were always very clean but had a strong smell, almost like a bar. Soundproofing was lacking as voices from the next room could be heard. The service, however, was exceptional, with the staff being amazingly helpful and pleasant, especially when sorting out a billing issue. The location, despite being central and near transport stations, was a bit off and had a somewhat negative reputation. The dining options were limited and not very satisfactory. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
