central locationfriendly staffclean roomthin wallsstreet noisetired room

The hotel is very central. It is just a couple minutes walk from the metro station. This connects you to everywhere in the city. Staff was friendly and polite. The room was super clean and cozy (it reminded me of a real find).

The walls seemed very thin. I could hear a lot of noise from the street. The room felt somewhat tired and could use some updating. There was no coffee in the room and sugar was not replenished.
