Pros:

The hotel is in a very good location, close to the main landmarks and attractions. The staff were very friendly and communication with them was excellent. Considering the location, the price is also very good.

Cons:

The room had a small blind window facing a ventilation shaft. However, we had booked the cheapest room and didn’t ask to change it, so I’m sure the other rooms are in better condition.
