I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was quite good, just a short walk to the metro station and close to plenty of local eats, the rooms had some issues with smell and furnishings. The staff was generally friendly and helpful, but the service could be improved with more accurate information. Overall, it’s a decent place, especially priced reasonably, but not without its quirks.

The rooms were adequately sized and quite clean but had a musty smell, and mine had a slightly smoky whiff, which was a bit annoying since it might have been used by a smoker. The furnishings felt older, yet they were almost luxurious.

The hotel had some nice features like comfortable rooms and friendly staff, but there were a few hiccups during my stay. The location is decent, although a bit of a trek to the metro station.

I had a pretty good stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and quite comfortable, which I really appreciated. The location was great, just a short walk to the metro station, making it easy to explore the area. However, the dining options weren't the best, as they mainly catered to traditional tastes and didn’t have many choices for Westerners. Overall, it was a decent value for money, but there's definitely room for improvement in some areas.
