Bra läge, trevlig receptionist. För övrigt ett tråkigt och ocharmigt boende. Alldeles för tunt täcke. Frös i sängen.

Super convenient and comfortable stay, within walking distance to the main tourist attractions but also out of the way enough that we were able to escape some of the business and explore some more local spots. Very easy check and in and staff were friendly.

Place was definitely what you expect in terms of what you paid for. That being said, it was incredibly noisy at night and walls are like paper thin so could not sleep at all.

Cleaning lady was the sweetest lady! We definitely loved the place, but it was 30 minute metro from center and kind of felt unsafe in the area. It was dirty area with a lot of dark alleys. Hallways smelled like cigarettes the first two days, even though we were in a non-smoking room. Other than that, good AC, small but quaint, and renovated compared to photos on Booking! Good experience, thank you!
