Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's central location and convenient access to public transport, restaurants, and attractions. However, many reviews highlighted issues with service, including unfriendly or absent staff and poor management. Cleanliness was mixed, with some guests finding rooms clean and comfortable, while others noted a lack of regular cleaning. Noise from the street and thin walls was a common complaint, and several guests reported problems with the WiFi. Overall, while the location is a major strength, improvements are needed in service, noise insulation, and amenities.
