Overall, the location was good, but unfortunately the rest of our stay was disappointing.
Pros:

The best thing about the hotel was its location. It was close to the metro and bus stops, which made it easy and quick to reach the main attractions in the city.

Cons:

There were several things we did not like during our stay. First of all, it is not mentioned anywhere that the building does not have an elevator. We had to carry our suitcases up to the second floor, and the staff did not offer any help with the luggage.

There are two separate staircases leading to the rooms and they are not connected, but we were not informed which side our room was on, which made finding it confusing.

The room and the bathroom were also much smaller than they appear in the photos. From the second day, the ventilation/extractor in our room stopped working, and the toilet was very difficult to flush.

Additionally, the cleaning staff left our window open, which made the room very cold when we returned. The walls between the rooms are also very thin, so conversations from neighboring rooms can be clearly heard.
