functional stay with some drawbacks

basic roomhot water
the room felt pretty basic. i was expecting a bit more considering what i paid. also, getting hot water in the shower took forever. i had to let it run for ages before it finally warmed up, which was like such a waste.

wonderful stay

great locationhelpful suggestiondefinite returnbroken blind
i was grateful for the hotel's great location, close to everything. the staff provided helpful suggestions for using the metro to reach my tour's starting point. i especially appreciated their advice, as it saved me a lot of time, and i will definitely return after my tour for another night before flying home!
the blinds in my room were unfortunately broken, so they did not properly fit the window. this meant it was hard to enjoy the view during the day! and it was difficult to get the room dark enough to sleep at night.
