Basic but functional: working AC and hot showers, some rooms have elevator access to the floor; however the hotel has a very small reception and no elevator access to reception level for some guests.

Pros:

Great location to the bustling nightlife. The room was good value but basic. I had read a lot of bad reviews after I had booked, but it was better than reviews. Just!

Pros:

nice staff, elevator to get to the room, good big comfortable beds

Cons:

We booked the room with the window, but the view was at the wall of the same building. There is no elevator to go to the reception, so you need to use stairs with your suitcase. Late check out costs almost same price as the price for the full night.
