“The location is convenient, though some might find the hotel a bit tricky to locate at first. Most guests note it's close to public transport. Rooms are basic but okay for the price. Bathrooms are clean but simple. Room service could be better, and breakfast isn't included. Air conditioning and hot water are available.”
