Guests say
The hotel enjoys an excellent location, being centrally situated and within walking distance to many attractions, which guests appreciate. However, guests have reported significant issues with cleanliness in the rooms and common areas. Many reviews also noted inconsistent service, with some guests feeling neglected when it came to room maintenance and housekeeping. Overall, while the location is a highlight, the lack of cleanliness and mixed service experiences leave much to be desired.
