Charming City Stay

quiet roomeasy accessdecent selectionhelpful staff
The room was quite quiet, perfect after a busy day exploring the city. I appreciated the easy access to the metro station.. it made getting around effortless. The breakfast offered a decent selection, even if it lacked variety after a few days. The staff was helpful. They promptly addressed my questions before I arrived.
The exterior showed some weeds and clutter. It could use a bit of tidying.

The hotel is near the metro station and the bus stop and these take you to the city center. The hotel is located on a main street, yet this is barely noticeable.
Location
9/10
The location provides quick access to the city center and many sites. The immediate area includes shops suitable for coffee, drinks, and food. The location is good and safe, so it's quite accessible.
Dining

The breakfast buffet was adequate, but it lacked variety, and more vegetables would be beneficial. There was an abundance of fruit, and the coffee machine functioned well. Delicious pastries were served each day.
Service
10/10
The personnel were nice and helpful, addressing all my inquiries quickly and efficiently. Even before my arrival, staff members responded to my questions and requests promptly. Check-in required tourist tax payment, so keep that in mind.

The room was quite silent and serene.. it provided a tranquil setting. The rooms were clean and cozy. Room functionality meets the purpose well for resting.

the breakfast was good, a proper buffet and it did keep us going for hours.
The room i got was quite small. It barely had space to move around, seriously. plus, the wifi was terrible, the carpet didn't help either, it was giving off old vibes. the bed was like a trampoline, i swear, springs poking my back all night.
