The hotel had a great location, close to metro stations and various tourist attractions, making it convenient for exploring. The staff was friendly and really helpful, adding to the pleasant experience. However, the area was quite crowded and noisy at times, which wasn't ideal. The room was a decent size, but lacking some basic amenities like an iron or coffee cups, so it didn't feel like the best value for money overall.
