the location was super central! it's a short walk from the main streets. the staff even walked us to where we wanted at night! i felt very secure. the room was very clean, and the bar upstairs was perfect for a nightcap. i felt so safe!

the breakfast buffet had many options (i loved the fresh fruit selection). the central location made exploring easy. the hotel offered convenient access to nearby markets and shops.
The street noise at night was a little loud. It could be bothersome for light sleepers.

mixed feelings about my stay
street noise limited breakfast selection
the staff were indeed friendly, always willing to assist with directions and recommendations.
my room was smaller than expected (i had booked a 'superior room'). the noise from the street was significant, especially late at night. furthermore, the breakfast selection seemed limited after the second day.
