helpful staff delicious breakfast convenient location small room faulty shower thin wall

The staff welcomed me warmly. They provided a map at check-in and showed me some sights. Breakfast included many choices, and everything tasted fresh. The location is near restaurants.

The room I got was small, very small. The shower did not work properly, and water spilled everywhere. I couldn't take a decent shower. The walls seemed thin. I could hear everything from other rooms.

fresh fruit chilled water

The fruit at breakfast tasted fresh. The orange juice was squeezed immediately at my request. The air conditioning in my Superior Double Room worked effectively, thus maintaining a comfortable temperature. The room remained quiet and soundless.

The hotel location requires a short walk to the nearest metro station.
