The location was good. It was easy to get around.
the room felt quite dated. the carpet looked worn and the furniture seemed old. also, i found the room quite small for the price, and it lacked some expected amenities like complimentary water.

underwhelming experience. at a premium price

small room currency exchange issue
the location proved convenient for seeing the city, a small consolation.
My room felt quite small for the price, with some stains visible on the walls. Not exactly the pristine experience i anticipated. the shower barely dribbled water, it felt more like standing in a gentle rain than a proper shower, a disappointing start to the day. also, i asked about exchanging currency at check-in, i got a runaround and was almost late for my flight.
