good value money well maintained hotel easy access small elevator long wait no main light
The breakfast was a good value for money. The hotel is well maintained (i noticed that it was very clean). The location is central. It gave me easy access to shops and restaurants.
The elevator was small. It barely fit four people. I also had to wait a long time. The room had no main light (only lights over a mirror).
